On a national level, UMG recently earned the Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star, the national symbol for energy efficiency in America, an honor bestowed on the top of facilities in the country for energy performance.
Locally, UMG’s Santa Monica office is also the recipient of both the Metropolitan Water District Water Saving Certification as well as the City of Santa Monica’s Green Certification. These two programs recognize businesses that have taken steps to incorporate sustainable practices into their operations.
The environmentally responsible initiatives implemented by UMG have been met with enthusiasm and great support by the company’s employees. From regular recycling to the usage of environmentallyfriendly products, UMG imparts green activities as a way of corporate life. The company plans to continue to expand its earth-friendly programs and activities and is fully committed to protecting the environment on a corporate level. »
