After cutting the ribbon, McMillan asked what type of things Agero had done to become CMC Green Certified.<\/p>\n

Mike Daly, Agero\u2019s Facilities Manager who led the effort, explained. \u201cWe\u2019ve reduced the amount of paper we use including putting our employee handbooks online; cut back on our energy use by adjusting thermostats when we are out of the office and added occupancy sensors for lights to automatically go out when a room is not in use. We\u2019re working to minimize every aspect of our waste, to include only changing individual trash bags when necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n

McMillan asked, \u201cDo you think this has all been worthwhile for your company?\u201d<\/p>\n

Daly responded, \u201cAbsolutely, it\u2019s going to go to the other Agero sites around the country. The Clarksville Agero facility is the leader in environmental efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to ask you a question the mayors are always interested in, said Harpel. Are some of the associates taking these efforts home with them?\u201d Daly responded, \u201cSome of them have communicated that they\u2019ve taken it home and I\u2019ve received emails from employees telling us how appreciative they were of what we\u2019ve done.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cathy Tylutki, Agero\u2019s Human Resources Director said, \u201cWe\u2019ve encouraged them to bring in silverware rather than using plastic and we provide new employees mugs and we have filtered water machines and ice so they can avoid using plastic bottles. I think it\u2019s like anything, small changes can make a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are so proud that your company has taken this action. Not only does it help save companies money but we appreciate the steps you are taking to improve our environment. We want Clarksville-Montgomery County to be around for a long time,\u201d said McMillan.<\/p>\n

Harpel added \u201cI also wanted to thank you not only for this effort but for all Agero has done to integrate into the community. In such a short time, Agero has become very involved and we are grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Agero is one of the nation\u2019s leading providers of world-class customer service through innovative roadside assistance and accident management programs. They opened their doors in Clarksville in October 2012 and have grown to nearly 500 employees. Agero is located at 2971 International Blvd in the Clarksville Corporate Business Park.<\/p>\n
