The team includes the players on the field, both offense and defense, coaching staff and the fans. You may even think of some of the players’ family members and cheerleaders.

As with football and other team sports, the St. John the Baptist Parish environment requires a team effort. Each company and their employees who compose the St. John Industrial Group maintain a strong commitment to the environment. Each company continually sets specific goals and works to find better ways to reduce emissions. A healthy environment is critical to the quality of life and requires rules, regulations and referees.
