Heor’s Environmental Sustainability

We believe that incorporating sustainable solutions in the way we do business will help to build better futures for families and aid in protecting our planet’s natural resources.

Through collaboration with our associates, vendors and customers, we continue to support our sustainability initiatives across the key areas of climate action, waste and recycling, and responsible sourcing. Our strategy is guided by leveraging business practices and decisions that enhance the objectives of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), and we are committed to monitoring and reporting performance and progress against these goals.
