WM Snapshot
Our sustainability strategy is centered on three core ambitions:
1 . Material is repurposed
2 . Energy is renewable
3 . Communities are thriving
But what does this mean for WM? It means we’re reimagining a circular economy by investing in and operating innovative recycling and waste solutions that fuel the continuous reuse of materials. It means we’re innovating for climate progress by deploying advanced technologies that use waste to produce energy that powers communities and reduces our footprint. It also means we’re empowering people to live sustainably, both our team members and community while strengthening the resiliency of the diverse places where we live and work.
With our 2030 sustainability goals — significantly increasing our material management, cutting our greenhouse gas emissions, building a culture of belonging and more — we aim to stretch ourselves while remaining confident in our ability to meet each one.
