Message From Our President and CEO

Protective Industries is committed as a company to going above and beyond in helping our people and our planet.

At Protective Industries, we recognize the central role we play in providing families with opportunities to thrive while also creating a brighter and greener future for generations to come. We are dedicated to minimizing our environmental footprint, while also maximizing our positive impact on families and communities worldwide.

That’s why I am proud to introduce The Protective Promise. The purpose of the program is to drive continuous improvement across the organization with two ultimate goals in mind. First, to increase employee satisfaction and to establish Protective Industries as the employer of choice in the areas where we work. Second, to reduce our carbon footprint across our operations to contribute toward leaving behind a healthier planet.

For our employees, we strive to make Protective Industries a great place to both start and grow a career. Through a blend of initiatives recently rolled out, we have created an open culture of learning and development, where feedback is welcomed, and opportunities for growth embraced.
Our employees are our most important resource, creating tremendous value for our customers every day. The diversity in backgrounds, experiences and perspectives of our employees is what makes us stronger and more innovative as a team.

As a second part of our employee commitment, we must also ensure we are taking care of our planet by deploying initiatives that continuously reduce our carbon footprint. We seek innovative solutions to reduce waste, conserve resources, and promote renewable energy.

Sustainability is a core value ingrained in every facet of our operations, from our supply chain to our manufacturing processes. Our sustainability initiatives extend beyond compliance; they reflect our deep-seated belief that responsible business practices are not only ethical, but essential for long-term success.

I look forward to seeing the progress we will make together, for our people and our planet, with The Protective Promise.

Sincerely,

Dave Williams,
President & CEO
Protective Industries, Inc.
