Community Support
These days, more than ever, companies like Precision Warehouse Design have a responsibility to our extensive family of workers and the community. We’re here, in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, providing jobs and helping businesses develop efficient warehouse systems and logistics solutions. But sometimes, a company of our size can and should do more.
So, what is socially responsible warehousing, and why is it crucial to ongoing success? As we all know, warehousing and distribution are crucial to supply and demand throughout the country. But it’s entirely possible to do so while also remaining socially acceptable. First and foremost, focusing on sustainability and efficiency enhancements can help.
At Precision Warehouse Design, we pair our social responsibility with effective warehousing services. We run charity events with our community, sponsor various organizations in the DFW area, and help business owners take the next step in both efficiency and social responsibility.
Community Support
On May 27th, 2008, Precision Warehouse Design and countless team members participated as a Silver Level sponsor in the first Dallas VisionWalk 5K.
What is the Dallas VisionWalk 5K? It’s a charity walk sponsored by the Foundation for Fighting Blindness, in which we helped raise over $100,000 for retinal degenerative disease research. The primary goal is to help push forward this research to provide prevention, treatment, and cures for those suffering from retinitis pigmentosa, macular degeneration, Usher Syndrome, and countless other retinal degenerative diseases.
Alongside Precision Warehouse Design and its team, Congressman Pete Sessions also took part in the walk and served as a Dallas VisionWalk Honorary Chair.
But social responsibility also starts at home. At Precision Warehouse Design, we practice socially responsible warehousing and distribution in our business while helping our clients. These practices help to:
- Implement green logistics methodology
- Raise public awareness
- Reduce air pollution, noise pollution, accidents, visual intrusion, and land-take
- Calculate and take steps to reduce our carbon footprint
- Bolster energy efficiency and reduce emissions
Sustainable Warehousing
When it comes to socially responsible companies, Precision Warehouse Designs has visions of grandeur. We want to help our community and clients become more socially responsible overall. Regarding the latter, we focus on sustainable warehousing and logistics solutions that make a difference.
One of the most effective ways to implement social responsibility in our warehouse design process is by opting for eco-friendly warehouse solutions. How? We focus on green initiatives, like recycling materials whenever possible, using more efficient packaging, monitoring and reducing energy usage, taking advantage of motion-sensing lights, reusing pallets and other materials, building upward instead of outward, and utilizing electric forklifts and equipment whenever possible.
These methods help put Precision Warehouse Design on the map. With community support dedicated to an ethical supply chain and green warehousing, PWD actively designs socially responsible warehousing that bolsters efficiency, improves workplace conditions, bolsters workplace safety, and reduces carbon emissions. We do this by following the latest in green trends, researching unique methodologies, and making effective changes.
We touched upon workplace safety, which is a significant factor when running a logistics or manufacturing company of any kind. You want a safe, effective workforce that can complete tasks without worry. How? One of the best ways to improve safety in a warehouse environment these days is to invest in the proper conveyor system, which brings about countless benefits. A conveyor system from PWD provides faster movement and sortation, is easier on your work personnel, and streamlines operations.
But how does sustainable warehousing make a difference? By switching a warehouse’s lighting to LED, for example, we can lower the overall energy consumption of the entire structure while also reducing heat generation. By opting for green, eco-friendly initiatives, it is entirely possible to both reduce waste and save money in the long run.
Ethical Supply Chain
What is an ethical supply chain? An ethical supply chain focuses on three key elements: economic, environmental, and social responsibility. A big part of an ethical supply chain is to provide a safe and hygienic work environment for team members. The end goal is to create long-term sustainability without the use of forced labor, while reducing waste and sustainably sourcing products and materials for everyday use.
When it comes to ethical supply chains and socially responsible companies, businesses must consider consumers and employees first and foremost.
- Does every link along the supply chain consider employee satisfaction and workplace safety?
- Are you sourcing materials with renewable or low-impact methodologies?
- How will unethical behavior or warehouse practices be rectified if they are discovered?
These are a few questions companies may ask when considering social responsibility and ethical warehousing practices.
At Precision Warehouse Design, we work directly with clients to ensure an ethical supply chain from the beginning. This process involves focusing on recycled materials, renewable energy, and overall efficiency to reduce waste—both product waste and employees’ wasted time.
Besides the previously mentioned benefits, building out an ethical supply chain brings about all manner of boons to companies. For starters, this process can help companies build and protect brand reputation, construct long-term loyalty, and provide a better overall customer experience.
On the employee front, the workforce is typically happier and more sustainable, with less turnover endured annually, there are fewer injuries, and efficiency at an all-time high.
Focusing on greater efficiency and a better workforce overall vastly impacts profits and reduces risk. It’s a win-win for all involved!
