At SLM we aspire to be an example of the kind of business we hope to encourage. We see the today's business basics like customer focus and quality to be just that -- basic. We believe that the bar is being raised for tomorrow's business leaders, and we want to be at the front of the train -- not the back. For us, this means extending our commitments beyond the basics, to things like a pursuit of both purpose AND profit. To being transparent, to collaboration, and to being more environmentally aware. We're serious about reducing our impact on the environment, and as a company whose business will result air travel and congregation of thousands of people each year, we realize we have a responsibilty to be part of the solution.

For this reason, we're eliminating hand outs in conference sessions, offsetting our carbon emissions, and in other ways, will continually look for ways to improve our environmental performance. When we can, we select more sustainable products for use in our business, and we choose our partners and service providers from a network of others who are making a similar commitment to behave more sustainably in their businesses.

We hope you share our vision of a greener future. If you are interested in learning more about how we're working to be more sustainable, please feel free to call us. We would be more than happy to share what we're learning! We encourage you to consider offsetting your own carbon emissions and are happy to recommend our partner, Native Energy as the right resource for this.
