Hughes is proud to receive the 2021 Pregis Preserve Award. This award affirms our commitment to sustainability and the planet. Specifically, it celebrates our role in protecting the forests of the world. In 2021, Hughes Enterprises helped save 4,735 trees by using 100% recycled paper packaging — eliminating the need to harvest more trees for new packaging material.
“At Hughes, we actively seek out sustainable options for clients and aim to work with suppliers who share this focus. We are pleased to do business with Pregis and proud to be a recipient of this prestigious award.” – Neal Magaziner, President of Hughes Enterprises.
Saving trees creates positive ripples that have an outsized impact on climate, pollution control, and quality of life. Scientists estimate that every mature tree absorbs 48 pounds of CO2 every year. Every tree we’ve saved plays a vital role in reducing carbon in the atmosphere, providing clean oxygen, and sustaining our ecosystem.
