Consideration for the integration of stewardship and sustainability principles are becoming ever more important to business success in the global environments in which function. Bartell recognizes that there is more to being an influential business than just selling world class equipment. Despite complex challenges we continue to work to do our part to reach beyond our physical walls to positively impact our employees, community and environment. Below are some examples of just a few of our efforts to be more than just a workplace.
