At Anko-Art, we believe in that every corporation should be held accountable for doing business with compassion, principle, and awareness to the positive impact they can have on the world.
Responsible Forestry:
In our effort to make a positive impact, Anko-Art began to give preferential treatment to certified products and shifted procurement of wood from questionable sources to companies that practice responsible forestry. The wood that Anko-Art purchases is FSC Certified (Forest Stewardship Council), which means that the forest products used are from responsibly harvested and verified sources, or is manufactured at a sustainable farm.
Community-Based Initiatives:
In 2011, Anko-Art joined the Susan G. Komen for the Cure initiative by donating gift certificates and books to the Susan G. Komen Foundation of the North NJ Chapter. By donating over $1,000 in products, Anko-Art helped sponsor the initiative to provide free mammograms to people who can't afford them, breast health education, and emergency financial aid to people who are unable to pay for their care.
Carbon Footprints:
Anko-Art has switched to Energy Star Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs instead of Incandescent bulbs. CFL's consumer up to 75% less energy and they last up to 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs. In the next 8 months, Anko-Art plans on reducing it's carbon footprint by 30% by using more fuel efficient shipping methods, turning off equipment when it's not being used, finding a supply of paper with maximum available recycled content, and instigating an ongoing search for "greener" products and services in the local community.
