Waste Management, Inc., now doing business as “WM”, is a waste management, comprehensive waste, and environmental services company. The company was founded in 1968 and is headquartered in Houston, Texas (Wikipedia, 2023). The current CEO James C. Fish Jr. has been in place since 2016, building a sustainable enterprise, leading from the front and by example. Jim Fish has a vision, rebranding Waste Management to WM, commenting that the firm’s decades-long approach to sustainability has made it “much more than a waste management company.” (Taylor, 2022). The vision Jim and other leaders at WM have is cutting edge and optimizing the sustainability approach to be environmentally friendly and still be leading the industry in waste removal and disposal because trash doesn’t go away, so we have to be smarter in how we handle materials.
WM has roughly 49.5K employees, and in 2023 they ranked at spot 204 on the Fortune 500 list with a revenue of $19.7 million, and with profits of $2.2 million. The valuation of WM is
$66.4 million, the valuation is the company's total revenue before subtracting operating expenses
and multiplying it by an industry multiple. The industry multiple is an average of what companies usually sell for in the given industry (50 Pros, 2023). The technology that WM has brought into the industry has been revolutionary to not only WM but to other competitors as well, as WM is the cat the others copy.
WM is currently revolutionizing landfill gases and investing in renewable natural gas facilities (RNG) and converting the methane gases that are naturally produced at landfills during the decomposition process and running pipelines to capture those methane gases, control odors, and convert the gas to renewable natural gas to power homes and businesses. The use of this energy as a substitute for fossil fuels reduces greenhouse gases, benefiting the community and the environment (WM Intellectual Property Holdings, 2023). WM is leading the waste industry

in RNG facilities, but they aren’t the only ones that convert the gases, farmers are in this market as well, using manure as a conversion to create natural gas to power farm equipment and energy for the farm to cut down on costs to operate. The focus of WM is the be as environmentally friendly and beneficial to the communities
that WM facilities reside in as possible. Lowering carbon footprints, by not only converting the gases from the landfill to power homes, but WM also has the largest compressed natural gas (CNG) operated fleet of trash trucks in the industry as well. Chief Operating Officer John Morris
said, “We’re going to continue to buy predominately CNG where the opportunity exists.” WM is
growing towards 80% of its collection fleet operating on CNG systems. The cost of the system setup is worth the return, Morris stating that he’s likely to spend at least $2.5 billion to date on CNG fleet and $300 million on infrastructure, installing CNG stations around the country. 55% of the WM CNG trucks are using RNG gases now as well, utilizing the materials available cutting down on cost, and reducing fleet emissions by 36% since 2010 (Rachal, 2021). These collection systems and the way WM structures its stance on the importance of sustainability is a focus that competitors such as Junk King, Waste Connections, and Republic Services are trailing behind. WM collections competitor Junk King is the #1 rated Junk Removal Service in North America with over 110 locally owned franchises in 32 states and Canada (Junk King, 2023). Junk King is a clean-up company and dumpster rental company, they will recycle as much of the waste as they can, however, they do not own any disposal facilities. Junk King relies on third-
party places such as WM post-collection sites to dispose of materials. WM does not offer in-
person cleanup such as a service Junk King offers, but WM does rent out dumpsters. Junk King does not run its truck fleet off anything other than fossil fuels, so they are not revolutionizing the

Assume that you are a personnel officer in a
manufacturing company and that one of
your employees is a young engineering manager
called Joseph Sykes. Joseph has been
chosen to attend the local university' s Business
School to study for a diploma in management. Joseph

to study accounting; as
an engineer, he thinks that it will be a waste of time for
him to study such a subject.
Required:
Draft an internal memorandum addressed to Joseph
explaining why it would be of benefit to him to study
accounting.
