The Signs N’ At Statement of Values includes three key points which their family focuses on every day: being a good neighbor, respecting the environment and ensuring the safety of their family and neighbors. Signs N’ At’s on-going sign recycling program allows their neighbors to bring plastic yard signs (both corrugated plastic and polybag signs) to them for proper recycling, regardless of where the signs were purchased. They have adopted a local highway and coordinate several cleanup efforts throughout the year. In addition to ensuring their installers have proper training for the equipment they are operating, Signs N’ At works with professional engineers to ensure the signs they install can withstand Pittsburgh’s windy spring and snowy winters.
“It’s nice to be acknowledged for doing things the right way. Our family has put in a tremendous amount of time, money and energy to ensure this business is something that we all can be proud of,” says Nathan Ward, General Manager of Signs N’ At. “We joined the Better Business Bureau because their values align with ours and so it is an incredible honor to be recognized through the Torch Awards for Ethics program.”
"An excellent 'leading by example' approach seems to set the ethical tone throughout Signs N' At and their Statement of Values codifies the critical ethical values for all of their stakeholders," says Torch Award judge, Jim Weber. "The integration of a sustainable focus into its culture and ethical values is welcomed. This business appears to be an excellent example of an environmental steward for their community."
According to Torch Award judge, Akwasi Opoku-Dakwa, "the focus of Signs N' At's community efforts on reducing waste and recycling is appropriate and relevant to their line of business."
