Annual celebrations such as Texas Recycles Days are part of H-E-B’s longstanding pledge to reduce its impact on the environment. Through the company’s Our Texas, Our Future commitment, H-E-B’s mission is to increase awareness, access and education around sustainability efforts that help preserve land, water and air in Texas.
