Community Relations

EQ's Commitment to our Community

EQ is committed to ensuring a safe and healthy environment for our employees, our customers and our community. We are proud to be actively engaged members of our communities, especially where our facilities reside. This engagement includes volunteerism activities, donations to schools, non-profits and other non-governmental organizations as well as ongoing communications with local government officials and business leaders.

In addition to being good corporate citizens, we also strive to maintain clear, open lines of communication. We believe that communication with the public is vital to the successful business practices of EQ. Because our first priority is keeping residents safe and the environment clean, we are available to provide information and answer questions about our operations, as well as give tours of our facilities.
