| Partner Profile Esurance is an online auto insurance company that encourages environmental stewardship in all facets of its business, beginning with its daily operations and moving outward to its customers and the public at large. Operationally, Esurance has cut down on waste through its "Are You Thinking Green?" internal initiative. Through this program, reusable drinkware was distributed to all 1,800+ associates and recycling programs, including the use of recycled office products, were implemented in all of Esurance's offices. Furthermore, a national network of green associates provides tips about how to further environmentally friendly practices in the workplace. Esurance also purchases green power by investing in wind farms in North Dakota. In addition to its operational initiatives, Esurance has received awards and recognition for being the first in its industry to nationally advertise and promote environmental messages focused on carpooling and carbon footprint reduction. "As an insurance company, we are very aware of the repercussions of climate change," said Gary Tolman, Chief Executive Officer of Esurance. "By joining the EPA's Green Power Partnership Leadership Club, Esurance joins a great group of companies who are taking steps to help protect our environment by investing in alternative energy." | |
