Go Green
Environmental stewardship is a priority at every level of Volt. Our "Go Green" initiative, launched in 2007, aims to reduce Volt's environmental footprint by committing to reducing, reusing, and recycling whenever possible. Our success is measured by the positive steps we take as individuals locally and as a company globally. Volt's activities were recognized with the inaugural ASA Care Award for Corporate Responsibility from the American Staffing Association.
