Waste Management is a company committed to making a difference for our employees, our customers, the environment and the communities we serve. As an industry leader, we commit our knowledge and experience to stewardship of the environment, tackling tough issues such as recycling and waste diversion, providing renewable energy and resource conservation, and safe collection and disposal of waste. We are an environmental company.

What’s more, we strive to be a trusted and valued community partner, and we commit our resources and resourcefulness to programs that build up our communities and our cities. As a company with nearly 50,000 employees and more than 20 million customers, we also commit our voice to calling for greater diversity and inclusion in the workplace and the world around us. We wonder: Where does our responsibility as a company end and our responsibility as members of the community and custodians of the earth begin? Shouldn’t everything we do ultimately come back to benefit our own neighborhoods, our families, our cities and our quality of life? The fact is, we are not just a company. We are people. We are stewards of the earth’s resources. We are citizens of the communities in which we work. Whether at work or at home, we have the same obligation to conduct ourselves in a safe and responsible manner. We have the same duty to help build better communities, to respect and protect our natural resources, to respect and protect our people, and to do the right thing. The good that we do starts with our spirit, determination and leadership, both as individuals and as a company. It starts right here, with commitment.

Sincerely,

David Steiner
Chief Executive Officer
