Corporate CitizenshipThe individuals that make up The Outlook Group, Inc. are committed to social responsibility. We demonstrate that commitment through our accountability to the hundreds of funeral homes we serve, and to the thousands of consumers we annually assist in preplanning their final arrangements. As we work to continually meet the unique and ever-changing needs of our profession, we are committed to creating greater value for our clients and the consumers they serve. We are committed to ensuring our employees have the most up-to-date training and industry-leading resources to ensure their success. This commitment gives focus to our corporate social responsibility, both in principle and in action. The Outlook Group, Inc. is ever mindful of the opportunity and responsibility we have to make a difference within our community. We operate with an ethical perspective broader than our own immediate short-term profit. Like our valued clients, we are determined to achieve a sustainable planet by recycling white paper, newspaper, glass, plastic bottles and cans. We support the preservation of 1.4 million acres of endangered Amazon rainforest to reduce carbon emissions through our recycling practices. We use recycled products whenever possible and have significantly reduced the amount of paper we print by utilizing effective e-mail marketing and file folder sharing practices. We are attempting to change our planet for good one action at a time.
