Corporate Responsibility
Environmental Health and Safety
At Lakeside Book Company, employee safety is paramount. We strive to continuously improve our processes, procedures, and materials to minimize risk to our employees and their environment. We aim to lead by example, exceeding compliance and regulatory requirements for our industry to ensure that our employees are safe for generations to come.
Social Responsibility
We believe in helping to take care of the communities where we live and work. We actively invest in the well-being of our communities through volunteer events and supply drives, membership in local chambers of commerce and on committees, environmental clean-ups, and more.
Sustainability
We believe sustainability doesn’t have to mean choosing between being cost-effective and environmentally conscious. Through our investments in new, cleaner equipment, ethically sourced materials, employee education and training, and the expectations that our vendors meet these standards, we ensure the only impact our books have is on the minds and hearts of readers.
Lakeside Book Company considers ourselves stewards of books as vessels of knowledge and memory. We are responsible for ensuring that the materials and processes we use to print a book and the ways we distribute it create minimal impact on the world around us. We want to make books for at least another century, so we must continue to innovate and act in the safest, most environmentally friendly, and socially responsible way.
