At Pratt Industries, we don’t just see the map as a series of market segments; we see a collection of hometowns. When we talk about "Harvesting the Urban Forest," we are talking about being an active part of the communities where we live and work. Whether it’s in Atlanta, Shreveport, Staten Island or the numerous other communities we are proud to be part of, Pratt operates as a local employer with the heart of a small-town business and the reach of a national leader.
Our advantage comes from being "already there." With operations in 25 states, we pride ourselves on being a neighborly presence. We believe in:
- Investing Locally: We employ more than 10,000 highly skilled, green-collar workers who are members of your local community.
- Community Engagement: From the classroom to the boardroom, we enjoy being involved. For example, in Denton, TX, our local team partnered with schools to create community murals that celebrate the environment.
- Local Reliability: Because we are a privately held company, we can react quickly to the specific needs of our local partners, much like a trusted hometown hardware store.
- Closing the Loop: by operating 19 recycling and Material Recovery Facilities near major population centers, we help provide a “closed loop” for the packaging and other recyclables you use every day. This helps reduce waste and divert materials from landfills to new uses, like our 100% recycled paper, bags and boxes.
To us, sustainability isn't just a corporate initiative—it’s about being a good neighbor.
