Sustainability – AntonSport

We’re Green

Green isn’t just a word or a color at Anton Sport. We have been practicing Eco-friendly solutions for years…before it was the cool thing to do, before it became a trend and before it turned into the movement it is today. We are committed to making a positive impact for a greener future. At Anton Sport, being “green” or “Eco-friendly” are about choices. Small choices that over time become lifelong habits. Take a look at some of the choices we’ve made here at Anton Sport.

Environmental Policy

Anton Sport is fully aware of the importance of keeping our operations environmentally sound. Given our position as one of the leading t-shirt printing companies, it is our belief that we have a corporate responsibility to be environmentally conscious and practice sound environmental management. It is our goal to be a leader in responsible environmental practices which is why we adhere to the following environmental principals:

All of our facilities and equipment operate in an environmentally safe manner
We offer a large collection of sustainable garments that are made organically or from recycled materials
Our production materials are governed by environmental standards
We do our best to order locally or regionally to reduce fuel consumption
We make efforts to cut down on waste produced and attempt to recycle as much as we possibly can
We constantly monitor our environmental practices to lead to a cleaner environment.
Educating our employees about their employees responsibilities

We recognize that all individuals on our team working as one to be more environmentally conscious is the best way to improve our environmental standards. We also associated ourselves with environmentally conscious suppliers that do their best to adhere to certain environmental standards.

It is our belief that an environmentally conscious company equals a good company. Our first goal is to service our customers, but we make every effort to service our customers while being environmentally conscious.

At Anton Sport we are going to give you great customer support as well as being “green”. Our environmental standards are important to us. We want to do our part to help make Earth a better place to live while giving you the products you need at the low price you deserve.
