Environmental Efforts Continue from a Distance
Social distancing hasn't stopped Subaru of New England's Love the Earth efforts. These Facebook and Instagram posts encouraged followers to pick up trash on a neighborhood walk, while keeping a safe distance from others.

Eight Retailers Remove Eight Tons of Roadside Trash
Eight retailers in the San Francisco Zone have made a big impact on local roadways. Through an Adopt A Highway program, nearly eight tons of trash has been picked up over the last 14 months.

“As a team, we’ve made a significant impact on beautifying our local community and road systems while demonstrating Love Promise within the community,” said Raymond Smit, San Francisco Zone retailer development manager.

Thanks to these retailers for their support of Adopt A Highway.

Retailer Tip: Williams Subaru


I just wanted to share a photo of something else we are doing to support our green initiative. We just gifted over 50 employees with a reusable cup to cut down on the disposable cups being used for water and coffee in our facility!
