post them internally, and preferentially promote

Environmental & Social Responsibility
At Back in Motion we care as much about the environment and community as we do about the clients we serve. We believe corporate social responsibility encompasses a manner of conducting business that is respectful and reflects current environmental, social and economic principles. That is why we established the Corporate Activity for the Respect of the Environment and Society (CARES) Committee in 2005.
CARES is actively involved in initiatives that contribute to society, including fundraising and volunteering, engaging in environmentally sustainable practices, enhancing awareness and encouraging responsible behavior.
