In 2019, the Larry H. Miller Company joined the Utah Sustainable Business Coalition, an organization of business and community partners coming together to help improve the sustainability of our communities.
The coalition pursues its mission by:
- Providing education and resources for incorporating sustainability and resilience into strategy and operations.
- Raising awareness of sustainable products, services, events, and other resources available in Utah.
- Educating and connecting Utahns working in sustainability regardless of where their company is based.
- Raising awareness of upcoming legislation.
Larry H. Miller Megaplex Theatres has made significant strides towards sustainability. The examples below highlight ways small changes lead to substantial impact.
- Light fixtures throughout all Megaplex buildings are being replaced with more efficient LED lights
- HVAC improvements include enhanced air filters and automated timers for heating and cooling systems
- Increased Zoom meetings and decreased travel to reduce environmental impact
- Reduced waste and increased recycling at facilities by converting cooking oil into biodiesel fuel, installing Dyson Air Blade hand dryers in all restrooms, offering compostable drinking straws when available, and installing automated water shut-off on restroom sinks
- Consolidating box office, guest services, and concessions functions into a single operational area resulting energy efficiencies
- Refillable packaging options replaced millions of disposable paper cups and popcorn tubs
- Refillable MegaMugs have been used at Megaplex Theatres for nearly two decades, and refillable MegaTubs have been used for seven years.
- Electronic ticketing is becoming more generally accepted by guests, reducing thousands of single-use paper movie tickets
- Cashless transactions at the box office and concessions stands allows for more electronic banking resulting in fewer cash transfers in costly armored cars
As we continue to grow and invest in our communities, we honor our stewardship to protect, preserve and sustain our precious resources for future generations.
