Derek Jensen Takes up the Baton of Environmental Responsibility at Cortec®

March 22, 2022

We are pleased to welcome a new Environmental Specialist to our team! Derek Jensen joined Cortec® December 6th to support our efforts to develop sustainable, environmentally responsible corrosion solutions and packaging products and find ways to reduce our carbon footprint by reducing waste and conserving energy.

Derek shared the following vision for his new role: “. . . I want to continue the phenomenal reputation that Cortec® has earned as an [e]nvironmentally friendly company by finding more efficient energy resources, minimiz[ing] waste, and focus[ing] on sustainable practices. . . . My hope is that companies like Cortec® will be able to influence our customers to think about reducing harmful impacts on the Planet without having to sacrifice the quality of their work.”

Derek has a B.S degree in Environmental Science with an emphasis on ecosystems and has several years of experience as an environmental coordinator working with erosion control and permit compliance in the construction industry. He recommends using common sense to determine whether or not something will be harmful to the environment. Anyone who wants to become “greener” in their corrosion control and everyday activities can do so
simply by following his rule of thumb: “if it seems destructive don’t do it!”
