We’re pleased to introduce Our Nature, ELS’ sustainability initiative. Our Nature is more than a “green” initiative. While rooted in protecting and enhancing the environments where we live, work and play, Our Nature also speaks to our culture of opportunity, inclusivity, caring, transparency and respect. This initiative is guided by our core principles. It is built around a sound strategy and executed by an actionable and sustainable plan, while centered around delivering on our customer promise.
Understanding the Value
Our Nature is not just a slogan. It represents the heart of our organization. It reflects our culture and drives strategic initiatives company-wide. Our Nature helps us evaluate whether existing practices and new decisions are consistent with and supportive of our goal to deliver returns on investment for our stockholders, and creating value for our employees and the customers we serve.
The tagline, “Uniting People, Places & Purpose,” embodies the three tenets of Our Nature:
How we treat the planet (environment)
How we treat each other (social)
How we hold ourselves accountable (governance) 7
