With special thanks to the wonderful folks at Boxcar Press, we are happy to showcase these wonderful 11" x 17" custom letterpress poster prints of the Green Core Company Pledge.  You'll now find these in the offices, storefronts and workplaces of participating GCC businesses in Central New York.  

The pledge participating businesses make upon entering the program is as follows:

"We, NAME, pledge to being a better business and community member by:

• Improving our social standards to increase equity for all including staff and employees
• Improving our environmental standards to improve stewardship and health of our natural world both across the globe and at home;
• And acting as role models for social and environmental justice and equality.

This means we will act in the best of our ability to do no harm either through our products or our services or our operations, and will continue to innovate and use best practices and standards for benefitting the triple-bottom line of people, planet & profits both today and into future generations."
