Community
CASS has continued to focus on best in class service to our clients while striving to maintain a positive presence in our local community. We are an industrial facility, but we are also neighbors who LIVE and WORK in the community. Our goal is to be a good neighbor and contributor to society while fostering a sustainable approach to utilizing natural resources
Sustainability is the core of our business and we challenge ourselves to create a better future. We achieve this by being responsible stewards of earth’s shared natural resources and making positive contributions to the communities we touch. That’s why in the past decade, we’ve contributed over $680,000 to organizations that are doing work that’s in line with our mission. We see it as both a privilege and an opportunity to brighten the future of our neighbors, be it through industrial art education, nature preservation, or traditional education.
