Going green
NPI has established a resource conservation plan called “GRIP” (Green Returns Improvements Program). Our green initiatives include using recycled paper and office products; encouraging our clients to allow us to go paperless for our reports; using ethanol fuel in our company vehicles; washing our patrol vehicles with 100% recycled water; maintaining our vehicles well in order to control emissions; communicating “green” ideas to our employees that they can use at home; and other measures.
In addition, we are purchasing fuel-efficient vehicles for our patrol fleet to promote energy savings.
