HOW AVERITT IS MOVING SUSTAINABILITY FORWARD
The business choices we make today directly affect the world we'll leave behind tomorrow. That's why at Averitt, we're always looking for new and better ways to minimize our impact on the environment. That drive is part of our culture. It's a promise to friends and family as well as our customers and fellow associates. But in a larger sense, it's a commitment to future generations - individuals we'll never meet, but who'll hopefully enjoy a cleaner Earth in part because of our efforts. It's for you - and them - that we pledge our best and ongoing efforts at protecting the health of our precious planet.
