community organizations including:
Muscular
Dystrophy Association,
The
Special Olympics,

and many others.
Environment
Align has taken steps to implement environmentally aware policies. In the
U.S. we encourage the use of mass transit by offering a Commuter Benefits
Program enabled by TransitCheck, offering tax benefits for our
professionals who use mass transit. Our London office is a short walk from local
train stations and bus stops. The use of mass transit saves the U.S. 1.4 billion
gallons of gasoline per day and produces 95 percent less carbon monoxide and
about half as much carbon dioxide per passenger mile as private vehicles.
Conservation
In our corporate offices we have replaced bottled water with an
environmentally friendly water filtration system. We purchase
office supplies & consumables made from recycled elements and have installed
motion detectors to light fixtures that automatically turn off.
Power Conservation & Recycling
We have implemented power conservation
efforts in our data centers. Power consumption is a key consideration for every
piece of hardware we evaluate/purchase. We follow the stringent recycling
requirements of New York City, with recycling containers located throughout our
offices for the collection of recyclable materials.
eWaste Disposal
We have made arrangements to properly dispose of
electronic waste including monitors, servers, cables and
fluorescent light bulbs.
