What does it mean to be a good corporate citizen? At Trade Wings, we believe corporate citizenship is about leveraging our resources and time to actively participate in programs and initiatives that enrich our local communities and protect the environment.
The Community
We’re proud to support the efforts of organizations such as Share our Strength, which is dedicated to addressing childhood hunger through programs like Operation Frontline, and Seacoast Eat Local & Slow Food Seacoast, which helps promote sustainable agriculture by connecting consumers with sources of locally grown and made food.

Our Environment
Trade Wings’ primary goal with respect to waste management is to reuse or recycle material. Our employees recycle paper, glass, aluminum and cardboard material. Only material that cannot be reused or recycled is directed to waste disposal. Trade Wings’ environmental management policy is ISO 14001 certified, demonstrating the company’s commitment to reducing its impact on the environment. By leveraging the ISO 14001 standard, we’re promoting the implementation of business processes that stress the reduction of paper, energy and waste.
In terms of industrial recycling for the telecommunications industry, Trade Wings has a relationship with a global leader in electronic waste management solutions, with 14 sites across the Asia-Pacific region. Trade Wings and this recycler work together to provide WEEE services and reuse optimization strategies for the world's largest Telecom manufacturer.
