MEITAR’S ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

Meitar is deeply committed to environmental sustainability and actively strives to minimize our impact on climate change and global resource consumption. We dedicate significant effort to maintaining a green office by reducing our carbon footprint, effectively managing office waste recycling, and optimizing our use of energy, paper, and water.

In view of the urgency of dealing with global warming and climate change, we have recently stepped up our efforts to protect the environment, and we see ourselves committed to implementing environmentally friendly practices.

What are we doing to curb our environmental impact?

• We encourage electronic retention of documents to reduce the number of printouts in the office.
• We reduce the use of paper by default duplex printing.
• We encourage switching to internet alternatives instead of using printed directories and newspapers.
• We use recycled paper that is chlorine-free, derived from cellulose fibers originating from sustainably managed forests.
• All our wastepaper is shredded and recycled.
• There are recycling bins for plastic, paper, batteries and more at the office.
• We switched all the bulbs in the office to “green”, energy-efficient bulbs.
• We make sure to turn off all the lights, air conditioning and electrical equipment after office hours.
• We encourage using reusable utensils to minimize use of plastic and disposables in our cafeterias.

Our new offices, set to open in 2026, are constructed and maintained according to the LEED Platinum standard, the leading global standard for construction and environmental quality. This prestigious certification ensures the highest standards of energy efficiency, water conservation, and use of recycled materials during construction. It also emphasizes efficient waste management and the creation of healthy, pleasant internal spaces for employees.

The building, currently under construction by the Tidhar Group, will be the only one in Israel to meet the advanced LEED Platinum standard.

We are proud to be the first in Israel to adopt this standard.
