Clean Biz Spotlight: RoyOMartin’s Commitment to Environmental Stewardship
At Keep Louisiana Beautiful, we know that a cleaner, more beautiful Louisiana starts with leadership, accountability, and a shared sense of pride in our communities. That’s why we are proud to spotlight our Clean Biz Partner and Love the Boot Week Sponsor, RoyOMartin, a Louisiana-based company whose long-standing commitment to cleanliness and environmental stewardship sets a strong example for businesses across our state.
For more than 20 years, RoyOMartin has embraced hands-on stewardship through its Adopt-A-Block program, a company-wide initiative that encourages employees to take ownership of the areas surrounding their workplace. The program is rooted in a belief that caring for our environment is not just a task, but a shared responsibility.
Natalie Monroe, Vice President of Environmental, Safety, and Sustainability Operations at RoyOMartin, shared the heart behind the program in a recent message to employees:
“Instead of thinking of Adopt-A-Block as a chore, I encourage you to have a sense of pride and stewardship that my dad envisioned for each of us. Even in our busy lives, we can all take 30 minutes a few times a year to do that.”
This perspective aligns closely with Keep Louisiana Beautiful’s mission to inspire personal responsibility for a cleaner state. At RoyOMartin, employees are organized into teams, equipped with proper safety gear, and encouraged to work together not only to collect litter but also to identify potential safety concerns and opportunities for improvement. The result is a program that reinforces environmental responsibility, workplace safety, and community pride all at once.
What stands out most is that RoyOMartin views stewardship as part of its culture, not a one-time event. By fostering camaraderie, encouraging awareness, and reinforcing pride of place, the company demonstrates how businesses can play a meaningful role in keeping Louisiana beautiful.
At Keep Louisiana Beautiful, we applaud RoyOMartin and leaders like Natalie Monroe for continuing a legacy of care and responsibility. Their commitment shows that when stewardship is embedded into daily operations, the impact extends far beyond company grounds, strengthening communities and setting a standard others can follow.
Together, through thoughtful leadership and collective action, we can continue working to leave our communities better than we find them, one block at a time.
The Clean Biz Program encourages businesses of all sizes to take simple daily actions to reduce and prevent litter and keep their properties clean and well maintained. Participating businesses commit to best practices like maintaining litter-free parking areas, providing proper trash receptacles, and supporting community cleanup efforts. In return participants receive recognition, marketing tools, and signage that highlight their commitment to a cleaner, more beautiful Louisiana.
