Interconex is committed to improving the environment we all share and doing so by having operating practices that have minimal environmental impact. We value sustainability, and for decades have developed strategies for green procurement policies and programs that will in turn conserve natural resources, materials and energy; and maximize recyclability and recycled content.

We continually raise awareness on environmental issues, provide relevant information and training to our employees, and select suppliers based on their ability to procure environmentally preferable products at competitive prices. It is critical to us that our global partners share this philosophy.

Arbor Day Foundation
As part of our sustainability approach, Interconex is very proud of our long-standing partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation. We plant one tree in one of our nation’s forests for every shipment booked with us. Since the inception of the program, Interconex has funded the planting of more than 44,000 trees!

Move for Hunger
We also partner with Move For Hunger, which not only helps keep people from going hungry, but also reduces food waste by donating unused food from relocating transferees. It is estimated that 14% of agricultural greenhouse gas emissions could be eliminated by reducing food waste.

Paper & eWaste
We are so proud that our offices have been paperless since 2008. We are also mindful of e-waste, and our Information Technology Department consistently finds safe and ecological ways to recycle and donate our obsolete technology.
