Corporate Donor Cintas Corporation Recognized
for Exceptional Environmental Stewardship
Matthew 25: Ministries, a top-ranked international humanitarian
aid and disaster relief organization headquartered in Cincinnati,
OH is pleased to acknowledge corporate donors nationwide that
represent the pinnacle of responsible corporate environmental
stewardship through the Green Giving program. These corporations
work throughout the year with Matthew 25: Ministries to rescue,
recycle, reuse and repurpose millions of pounds of excess products,
saving these products from the landfill, protecting our environment
and helping millions of people throughout the US and worldwide each
year.
Commercial and industrial waste is a significant portion of
solid waste. American industrial facilities generate and dispose of
approximately 7.6 billion tons of industrial solid waste each year,
according to the EPA. Reducing, reusing, recycling and repurposing
excess products can have an enormous impact on our environment.
With the help of corporate donors like Cintas, Matthew 25:
Ministries rescues and reuses more than 15,000,000 pounds of these
corporate excess products each year.
Corporate donations are evaluated, categorized and processed at
Matthew 25: Ministries’ 168,000 square foot facility in Cincinnati,
OH. The products are then redistributed to partner organizations in
Greater Cincinnati, throughout the US and around the world.
Responsibly recycled products from generous corporate donors like
Cintas impacted the lives of approximately 20,000,000 people in
2016.
Matthew 25: Ministries has developed the Green Giving Guidelines
as a way of acknowledging these product donors for their
exceptional level of corporate and environmental responsibility.
Corporate donors like Cintas that meet the standards of the Green
Giving Guidelines have demonstrated an extraordinary level of
environmental stewardship. Corporate donors receive a display
certificate and the opportunity to display the Green Giving Seal.
The Green Giving Guidelines include the following standards:
• Donate product multiple times per year to Matthew 25:
Ministries.
• Donate a significant amount of product based on company size,
location and/or capacity.
• Demonstrate an overall commitment towards minimizing corporate
waste.
• Demonstrate outstanding corporate citizenship by repurposing
corporate excess for humanitarian work.
Matthew 25: Ministries also recognizes “Extra Mile Corporations”
– smaller corporations that may donate a smaller volume per year
but work tirelessly to ensure that Matthew 25: Ministries receives
the maximum donation the company has to offer. Qualifying
retail/thrift stores are evaluated using different guidelines and
receive a window decal indicating their support of Matthew 25 and
dedication to environmental stewardship.
The Green Giving Guidelines are designed to promote, encourage
and reward corporate environmental responsibility, values and
attitudes; acknowledge participating corporations’ willingness to
act responsibly and applaud the enormous impact their actions have
on the environment and on people in need.
