Enterprise Rent-A-Car maintains an ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship including a sustainability pledge known as the Ranger Pledge. The Ranger Pledge encourages employees to adhere to Enterprise’s sustainability initiatives. In 2016 one of those initiatives was to improve recycling at their Rent-A-Car branches. Senior Operations Coordinator, Scott Addison, and Account Manager, Adam Tucker both worked diligently to ensure that an improved recycling program would be implemented and effectively communicated to all Enterprise staff.
In order to achieve a successful recycling program, Enterprise worked hand in hand with the MN Waste Wise Foundation to identify opportunity areas for capturing recyclable materials and ensuring that appropriate recycling bins and signage were acquired.
