Environmental Sustainability Efforts <br />In wanting to protect our environment as best we can, Hundred Flowers will take advanced steps <br />to lessen our carbon footprint. These steps include: <br />- Exploring the addition of solar energy outfitting of the building or parking <br />structures, or buying renewable energy offsets from our utility provider <br />- Using environmentally sensitive and low impact landscaping, with a <br />particular eye to drought -resistant flora and foliage <br />- Purchase material and items that are made under sustainable conditions <br />or with sustainable materials <br />• This would include cannabis and non -cannabis products, office <br />supplies, construction materials, etc. <br />- Reduce employee single automobile trips by via promotion of carpools, <br />mass transit, biking, etc. <br />• We plan to provide incentives for employees (and to a degree <br />customers) to use single use automobile trip alternatives <br />- Solid Waste Audit and Management Plan <br />• Ensure all materials are being recycled where able, and non - <br />recyclable waste is minimized <br />- Install low -flow and retrofit existing fixtures to be low -flow to lessen water <br />usage <br />- Provide proper HVAC equipment and installation to enhance indoor air <br />quality <br />- Use only green cleaning products on the premises. <br />- Annual LEED and Energy Audits <br />Continuous Energy Use Performance Tracking <br />All of these measures are based on US Green Building LEED certification protocols. While <br />Hundred Flowers cannot make a legally binding commitment to make its building LEED <br />certified, we can commit to enacting measures that would bring us as close as we can. <br />Local Focus <br />Hundred Flowers is gracious of the support of Santa Ana and, in turn, wants to be gracious in <br />our support to Santa Ana. Hundred Flowers will express this gratitude in 2 ways: 1) a <br />commitment to local hiring of Santa Ana residents, and 2) a commitment to source products and <br />services from purveyors in Santa Ana as much as possible. <br />As far as local hiring goes, we have a set goal of having at least 60% of our workforce <br />comprised of residents of Santa Ana. Over the years of operation, as more and more <br />employees are needed and hired, Hundred Flowers will give preference to applicants with <br />addresses in Santa Ana. We will also actively recruit hires from Santa Ana by relying on Santa <br />Ana based employment agencies, workforce centers, and Santa Ana College. All job postings <br />will state explicitly that we encourage Santa Ana residents to apply, and this job postings will be <br />advertised through venues local to Santa Ana. Our job postings will also mention competitive <br />salary, benefits, and the fact that those with minor previous cannabis convictions are <br />encouraged to apply. <br />Additionally, Hundred Flowers pledges to source the necessities of its business operations from <br />local providers. This would include everything from office supplies and cleaning services to <br />cannabis producers based in Santa Ana. <br />[us <br />
