Circle & Square earns Governor's Award
for Pollution Prevention and Sustainable Practices

Three goals of the DOE are to prevent pollution, clean up pollution, and support sustainable communities and natural resource. It defines sustainable as "meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs".

Caring for the environment has long been important to Reto and Jana Filli — even before they bought Circle & Square, in 1988. When they built their new facility, it was state-of-the-art in environmental controls, as well as vehicle service.
