Ever wonder when driving over the Mississippi River Bridge into Memphis what was taking place inside that giant Pyramid? 聽Well, we are about to find out as well as Bass Pro’s recycling and sustainability programs throughout the Bass Pro family of operations. The conservation ethic runs deep at Bass Pro Shops and permeates every aspect of business operations, including facility management. 聽Mr. Hoy, Bass Pro Shops Director of Facilities, oversees facility operations for the company. 聽In a career spanning 34 years at Bass Pro Shops he has had a hand in developing a comprehensive facility management program rooted in resource conservation and sustainable operations.
Preventive Maintenance, Live Exhibits, Environmental Compliance, Energy Management, Pollution Prevention and Waste Management are key components of Bass Pro Shops’ facility management program. The company’s waste diversion efforts are recognized by USEPA’s Waste Wise program and by the Missouri Recycling Association as recycler of the year. 聽Dan will share how Bass Pro Shops’ long standing commitment to conservation has been a cornerstone of the company’s success.
