in the industry, Tracey has been a

environmental initiatives, a sponsor

Your nomination form mentions you
have creative and generous employee
incentives, and you make work fun
and safe for all employees. Can you
share what company culture means at
your shop?
Employees have the opportunity to
participate in two different company
initiatives. They're both designed to
reward employees not only for working
hard, but for team work, conservation
(the ability to figure out ways to reduce,
reuse, and recycle) and working smarter.
All full-time employees qualify for
profit-sharing (when they have worked
at Traces one full year). The profit sharing program was instigated in 2001 and,
for obvious reasons, it has been well
received by employees.

exciting!), is based on "all staff going" or
"no-one going." Success lies in the ability of the entire staff working as a team
toward a structured profit level goal.
This incentive was put in place in 2003.
[Staff members at Traces have traveled
to Rome, Portugal, San Francisco,
Jamaica, and more.]
Can you talk about the importance
of sustainability in your shop and the
industry and why you've dedicated so
much effort to this cause?
Early in our history, we mandated a
commitment to helping the environment
by reducing waste. The result has been a
marked increase in waste being broken
down before reaching landfill and substantial savings in resources like hydro
and water consumption. All our inks and
chemicals are air safe, drain safe, and
landfill safe.
Traces has been influential in making
our suppliers more environmentally
