Sustainability
Silver Star’s Corporate Citizenship
Giving
Silver Star believes in healthy communities. In order to prosper as a business and attract and retain employees, we know the importance of supporting the organizations that make our communities a healthy place to live and work. In addition to participating in and sponsoring local events, Silver Star has a Caring for Community program, where non-profit organizations apply for project specific funding.
Volunteerism
While the employees at Silver Star have always been active participants in the community personally, Silver Star has recently begun focusing on Community Service projects completed by employees. Our staff is split up into several project teams and each is responsible for choosing, planning and completing a community service project for the year.
Our People:
Silver Star has grown quickly over recent years with just under 100 employees now on staff. Our people live in both Star and Teton Valley and have come from all over the country to reside in these special communities. Silver Star believes in investing in training for our employees and offers a comprehensive benefits package to our team because we know the value of having the best people on board.
Environment:
Silver Star is currently part of a program called Uncommon Sense, hosted by the Yellowstone Business Partnership. This program is helping us make significant changes to our business practices. We are focusing on making more environmentally-beneficial business choices and improving our overall operations to be more efficient while reducing our impact on natural resources. This program has been instrumental in teaching us and also holds us accountable for our choices.
We currently use our intranet site, newsletter and biannual meetings to formally educate the employees on the various sustainability programs Silver Star has put in place. Additionally, we recognize employees who make the extra effort to improve Silver Star’s environmental impact.
As we progress in the program, updates will be added to this site showing improvements we have made in areas such as waste management, energy consumption and purchasing.
