A Shared Drive for Better
At Macas Corporation, our commitment to sustainability and positive discontent are deeply engrained in the fabric of our business. Doing what’s right for our people, our planet, and our customers’ workday has long been at the center of our business. We never stop thinking of new and innovative ways to be responsible to solve for the challenges of today, while preparing to overcome the challenges of tomorrow as they evolve. We know that we can always be better; that we must continually evolve, push forward, and climb higher. It’s our way of leading ‘A Shared Drive for Better.’
Our vision for sustainability influences how we do business, each and every day. It means we’re advancing everything we do, from evolving sustainable internal procedures, to operating a wash process that uses less energy and water than home laundry, to offering our customers more reusable alternative products.
Our goals motivate our unbridled commitment to building on a culture that values safety, equity and social responsibility, with a diverse workforce and an unwavering passion for running our company ethically and responsibly. Our management systems focus on honesty, integrity and holding ourselves accountable in everything we do.
Our emphasis on environmental and social sustainability keeps top-of-mind our efforts to sustain the world we live in, helping us grow our culture of respect, belonging and inclusion. It makes for not only a better workday, but a better company — and a better planet.
A Solid Foundation of Social and Environmental Sustainability
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles aren’t new to Macascorp. They’ve been engrained in our company since the beginning.
Our environmentally focused origins started almost 100 years ago, when Doc and Amelia Farmer gathered dirty shop rags that local factories had thrown away, brought them home to wash them, and sold the clean rags back to companies. Doc and Amelia didn’t realize it at the time, but they were creating our sustainable business model that has remained intact to this day.
Over the years, we’ve never lost sight of that recycle, reduce, reuse, repurpose and repair mindset — even as we’ve expanded our business lines to include uniform rental and direct sales, facility services, first aid and safety, and fire protection.
Our commitment extends beyond environmental responsibility. We’re also dedicated to social responsibility, making sure our employee-partners feel engaged and supported in their careers and professional growth, fostering diverse and inclusive work environments, and maintaining world-class safety standards. And just as important is our strong and ethical governance approach — upholding good business practices and complying with laws and regulations that preserve the integrity of our company.
