At LaFrance, we don’t just strive to do the right thing, we define it. We implement our core values to reinforce our commitment to improving our company, community, and environment. Beyond recognized industry standards and legal compliance, these principles support our reputable work ethic. Our core values inspire employees, enhancing relationships internally as well as with our customers, vendors, partners, and localities.
With our heritage rooted in a South Philadelphia neighborhood, we recognize the importance of giving back to our communities, making them better places to work and live. Our volunteer team facilitates company-wide service opportunities to encourage philanthropic engagement. From mentoring STEM students at our corporate headquarters to sorting donations at the Cradles to Crayons warehouse, we work together to support a variety of organizations in need.
LaFrance also offers volunteer paid time off, giving our employees the chance to individually make a difference in ways that mean the most to them. Beyond our gifts of time and talent, we sponsor clothing, toy, and food drives, and manufacture and donate products like protective face shields for first responders and healthcare workers.
From our manufacturing operations to our office environments, we work hard to comply with and exceed industry standards and sustainability goals, reducing waste, minimizing impact on the environment, and keeping our work areas safe and clean.
In addition, we can manufacture using recycled materials, like aluminum, to support our customers’ specific product goals and commitment to the consumers they serve. We recognize that environmental responsibility is integral to producing world-class products and safeguarding our facilities and communities.
