V2X ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT APPROACH
The V2X Environmental Management Program focuses on ensuring that our operations are compliant with all requirements and regulations and follow best practices to promote sustainability.
Our process starts with our policy and governing documents, identifying aspects of our operations that impact the environment, monitoring and measuring performance, and regularly reviewing an improving the system.
We seek to minimize our environmental impact, comply with regulations, and commit to environmental sustainability.
Elements of the Program
Guidance and Policy
Our environmental management approach follows these principles:
- Understand environmental aspects and impacts at the program level
- Manage each aspect in a way that is protective of the environment and human health
- Commit to sustainable practices
- Comply with all environmental regulations and customer requirements
- Ensure that environmental impacts are mitigated to the maximum extent practicable
Pollution Prevention Approach
V2X regularly evaluates operations for opportunities to minimize environmental impact, and we emphasize regulatory compliance and an internal accountability framework to ensure success. Our teams continually review our processes and strive to reduce resource consumption and eliminate potential hazards and exposures. Where potential impacts remain, appropriate control technologies and procedures are implemented and maintained.
We set the following goals as part of our Pollution Prevention Plan:
- Air/Energy: Reduce fuel usage across the enterprise to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
- Materials: Implement acquisition programs aimed at procuring products that are environmentally preferable, energy efficient, or contain post-consumer materials, in collaboration with Supply Chain and supplier management.
- Training: Develop an environmental training program focused on hazard communications, waste minimization and pollution prevention.
- Solid Waste: Reduce solid waste by reducing, reusing, and recycling.

Climate Change Strategy and Goals
As a company that provides base operation services to the US military, we recognize the importance of addressing climate change and its potential impacts on our military operations. Therefore, we have developed a climate change strategy with specific goals to reduce our carbon footprint and promote sustainable practices.
Our strategy focuses on three main areas:
- Energy efficiency
- Waste reduction
- Sustainable procurement
We are committed to reducing our energy consumption and promoting the use of renewable energy sources. This includes implementing energy efficient technologies such as LED lighting and exploring the use of alternative fuels and vehicles.
To reduce waste, we have implemented a comprehensive waste management program that includes source separation, recycling and composting.
We have also established a Green Procurement Policy that prioritizes the purchase of environmentally friendly products and services such as recycled paper, energy efficient appliances, and BioPreferred materials.
In addition to these measures, we are committed to promoting sustainability awareness among our employees, customers and partners. We encourage our employees to participate in environmental initiatives such as Earth Day Environmental Champions.
By working together with our employees, customers, and suppliers, we are confident that we can contribute to a more sustainable future for our military operations and the planet.
