TVH Parts Co. has called the greater Kansas City area home for almost 20 years as the company’s Americas Headquarters is located in Olathe, KS. TVH is committed to being the one-stop shop for parts & accessories in the material handling, industrial, and light construction industries. Originally founded in Belgium, TVH has a global presence with over 90 branches worldwide and continues expanding into new markets. During TVH’s time in Olathe, they have been an active community member and continue pushing sustainability within the industry. TVH promotes internal and external sustainability by creating programs to help the environment while striving to be a good corporate citizen.
With many domestic and international locations, TVH actively promotes a sustainable environment in all its facilities. Switching to biodegradable cups and utensils has been a great start in reducing waste on everyday items. LED lights have helped reduce energy consumption within offices and are continually being added to facilities to help reduce TVH’s carbon footprint. The Olathe office has been working towards adding car chargers to the parking lot to promote the use of electric vehicles and decrease carbon emissions. TVH has demonstrated a solid commitment to environmental stewardship through these sustainable practices, inspiring employees to adopt greener habits.
TVH encourages employees to prioritize sustainability through the internal program Think Green. Think Green promotes the conservation of natural resources and strives to support environmental improvements that foster a clean, safe, and sustainable place to live and work. The program is dedicated to reducing TVH’s environmental impact and acts as an advocate within the company. TVH supports the local community through the Adopt-A-Street program, holding street cleanups to minimize pollution. Along with events, the program also sends informational emails to employees about recycling, energy conservation tips, and other environmental events going on in the community. Through these emails, employees can learn to promote sustainability at the office and in their daily lives outside of work.
Another building block of TVH’s sustainability is the remanufactured parts program. This program involves restoring used parts to like-new condition, which reduces waste and provides customers with sustainable shopping options. Various parts, from engines to electronics, can be remanufactured, offering customers multiple alternatives for the parts they need. By encouraging customers to send in their used parts, TVH helps reduce parts waste nationwide and promotes the importance of sustainability to the customer base.
TVH is continually promoting sustainability to its employees and customers by implementing eco-friendly practices, reducing carbon emissions, and encouraging the use of renewable energy sources. Additionally, they foster a culture of environmental responsibility through internal programs and awareness. TVH is proud to call Olathe, KS, home and is excited to be a part of the community by actively participating in local events, supporting community initiatives, and contributing to the well-being of the greater Kansas City area.
