Our Stories

Cypher Environmental

Cypher Environmental is a leading global environmental solution provider for dust control and road stabilization. With ESG (Environmental Social Governance) and CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) principles at the core of every decision we make, we proudly boast the tag line, “Always do what’s right.”

Why did your company sign the Climate Action Pledge?

We feel it’s important to be influencers in the business community. While our products are sustainable and used to help our clients reduce their environmental footprint, we wanted to give back to a greater degree than just making our clients more sustainable. It’s important to act now to preserve the world for our children and future generations.

Why is it important for business owners to speak up and show leadership on climate change?

People look up to us as influencers, not just in the business community, but the communities in which our team members live. While government has a role to play in setting policy, business owners have a direct impact in their communities and the way in which their businesses operate and influence others. Collectively, we have a strong voice that can be used to help impact other decision makers’ mindsets.

What is something you hope BizforClimate can change through our collective efforts?

We envision BizforClimate having a greater influence on bureaucrats and policy / decision makers as well as influencing the use of cleantech and the development of more sustainable solutions. Through this influence, we see collectively helping all of us achieve our net-zero goals and achieving them faster.

What’s a simple change you’ve made for the environment that other businesses could do?

We have many important changes for the environment that we have implemented. Over 80% of Cypher Environmental packaging is recycled and recyclable. We have an electric car charging station at the office and encourage the use of low / zero emission vehicles. We have implanted simple steps at the office to reduce our carbon footprint, such as composting and recycling for our entire team. We only consider inputs into our products that are fully non-toxic and renewable / biodegradable, and we even have a US EPA Safer Choice Certification for our best-selling product.
