CHINO, CALIF.—Bertolini Inc. recently launched their Sustainability Training Program for Employees. The first training session was held at the company’s corporate headquarters in Chino, Calif. This was a trial for launching the program companywide.
The first training session was a successful overview of the sustainability every Bertolini built-to-order chair has. Every Bertolini built-to-order chair is built with locally sourced materials. The 16 gauge cold rolled steel chair frame is produced from 100 percent recyclable American made steel, the patent pending Blow Molded Flex-Fit Seat is produced with 30 to 50 percent post industrial recycled materials, and the ergo-V back foundation is made from pre-consumer/post-industrial recycled ABS polymers.
Bertolini also works with one of America’s leading producers of foam cushioning using their bio-based foam products. These foam cushioning products leave a smaller environmental footprint in comparison to traditional foams made with petroleum products, are fully recyclable, are free of the controversial PBDE (Polybrominated diphenyl ethers) and are produced without the use of chlorinated fluorocarbons.
Training to be Held Quarterly
The training program includes internal in-depth resources and will be held on a quarterly basis. The employees will be trained on: Initiatives on Going Green, Environmental Policy, Recycle Program, Product End of Life Program, Social Responsibility Policy and Make a Sustainable Suggestion.
Bertolini Inc. encourages its employees to get creative and submit their best ideas.
“Our company goal is to increase awareness and reduce our carbon footprints by being committed to use resources to build a healthy and educated workforce, to care for the environment for the future and to support missions across the globe,” says Jeff Sladick, Director of Sales for the Hospitality Division at Bertolini.
