Our commitment to being a good corporate citizen extends to every individual working for, and with, InVue and is outlined in our four pillars of corporate responsibility: Environmental Stewardship, Diversity & Inclusion, Ethics & Privacy, and Community.
This framework guides our culture, reinforcing our priorities to do more with less, while also giving back to the respective communities in which we live and work.
“All of us at InVue understand when you partner with us the relationship goes beyond our products and services. You expect us to act responsibly and to minimize our environmental impact on the planet.
This understanding reinforces our priorities to do more with less, to give back to the communities in which we live and work, to create an inclusive culture which embraces diversity, respects privacy, and keeps our customers at the core of everything we do.”

InVue received ‘Sparking Change’ recognition from Walmart’s Project Gigaton program.
Project Gigaton is Walmart’s initiative to reduce emissions in the global value chain by 1 billion metric tons — a gigaton — by 2030.
We invest heavily on the front-end of our design process in order that development, manufacturing, and shipping be kept to the essentials.
Purposeful Design
Committed to minimizing unneccessary consumption.
InVue adheres to a modular product design set of principles allowing us to minimize the number of new components needed to update our products.
We strive to decrease the amount of plastics used in production by using recycled plastic resin in molded products.
Designing for the Future
We test every product to ensure a maximum lifecycle.
Our products embody quality and simplicity. Simplicity not only means easy to use, but also fewer parts which later must be recycled or discarded. This approach requires thoughtful decisions throughout our design, development and manufacturing. By investing heavily on the front-end of our design process we enable development, manufacturing and shipping to be kept to the essentials.
We ensure that our products measure up to real-life application through a significant investment in our Research & Development Lab, the largest in our industry. We are able to conduct rigorous testing of component parts to maximize product lifecycle.
How We Ship
Committed to minimizing unnecessary consumption.
Maximize pallet shipments and order fulfillments through dim-weight (the amount of space a package occupies) optimization
Ensure freight consolidation to reduce quantity of shipments
Minimize product and material transfers between our global warehouses by streamlining internal operations
Lower contribution to fossil fuel emissions by transitioning our standard shipping practices to ocean-transfer
Reduce plastic waste in packaging of products by grouping individual parts into a single kit
Where We Work
Daily operations in all facilities.
Whether it’s our building facilities or day-to-day operations within, the environments that propel our innovations forward keep green initiatives top of mind.
Reduce carbon footprint at facilities through use of high-efficiency building materials such as HVAC systems, appliances and cleaning materials
Prioritizing awareness of CO2 output from business travel by promoting telecommunications practices
Minimize landfill contributions by contracting zero-waste landfill programs
Saving unnecessary plastic bottle uses by installing refillable water stations at HQ location (several thousand saved since May 2017
Minimize plastic waste to landfills by transitioning to reusuable cutlery in all office location kitchens
Proactively identify issues and ensure optimal efficiencies of HVAC systems through biannual evaluations
Reduce paper waste by transitioning to print-release system (PaperCut) to queue printing jobs instead of automatic fulfillment — saving thousands of sheets of paper since implementation in July 2019
