We Ride These Trails Too

At Odes UTV LLC, we are not just a dealership — we are outdoor enthusiasts who spend our weekends on the same trails, deserts, and mountains our customers explore. We have a personal stake in protecting these environments. This policy is not a formality — it is a reflection of who we are and how we operate our business every single day.

A Living Commitment

This Environmental Policy outlines the steps Odes UTV LLC takes to minimize our environmental impact in our Riverside, CA facility and across our nationwide operations. We review and update this policy regularly to ensure we are continuously improving our environmental practices as our business grows and technology evolves.

How We Do It

Our Environmental Pillars

🛢️

Proper Fluid Disposal

All used motor oils, coolants, brake fluids, and lubricants generated by our service department are collected in sealed containers and disposed of through California-certified recycling and disposal programs — never poured down drains or disposed of improperly.

📄

Paperless First Policy

We actively encourage digital invoices, electronic contracts, and email-based communication for all transactions. Our goal is to eliminate unnecessary paper use across all departments while keeping our customers fully informed digitally.

Energy Conservation

We are actively transitioning our facility lighting to energy-efficient LED systems and have implemented practices to reduce unnecessary energy consumption — including automatic lighting controls, equipment power-down protocols, and efficient HVAC scheduling.

🏭Facility & Operations Standards

Odes UTV LLC operates its Riverside, CA facility in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local environmental regulations. We maintain all required permits and conduct regular internal reviews to ensure our operational practices meet or exceed legal environmental standards.

  • Full compliance with California EPA and CDFW environmental regulations
  • Regular facility inspections to identify and address environmental risks
  • Proper containment systems for hazardous materials storage
  • Staff training on environmental compliance and emergency spill procedures
  • Maintenance of all required environmental permits for our service operations
We believe legal compliance is the baseline — not the ceiling. We actively pursue practices that go beyond what regulations require.

🛢️Hazardous Materials & Fluid Management

Our service department handles a range of automotive fluids and chemicals that require careful management. We take this responsibility seriously and have established strict protocols for every material that enters and exits our facility.

  • All used motor oils collected in sealed, labeled containers for certified recycling
  • Coolants, brake fluids, and transmission fluids handled by licensed disposal contractors
  • Parts cleaning solvents managed under California Hazardous Waste regulations

  • Reuse of received packaging materials where product integrity allows
  • Working with freight partners who maintain responsible environmental standards

🌲Land & Trail Stewardship

As a UTV dealership, we have a unique responsibility to promote responsible off-road riding among our customers. The trails and public lands our customers enjoy are irreplaceable — and keeping them accessible depends on riders who respect the land.

  • We educate customers on Leave No Trace principles and responsible trail use
  • We encourage customers to stay on designated trails and respect protected lands
  • We do not endorse or facilitate illegal off-road use of protected conservation areas
  • We support local trail organizations and land access advocacy groups where possible
  • We promote the use of properly maintained vehicles to reduce emissions and leaks on trails
Responsible riding is the best environmental action a UTV owner can take. We educate every customer about their role in protecting public lands at the point of sale.

👥Employee Environmental Responsibility

Environmental responsibility begins with our people. All Odes UTV LLC team members are trained in our environmental policies and are expected to uphold these standards in their daily work.

  • New hire environmental orientation covering proper waste disposal and chemical handling
  • Regular refresher training on updated environmental regulations and internal procedures
  • Clear reporting channels for employees to flag environmental concerns without fear of reprisal
  • Team members empowered to suggest and implement new environmental improvements
We believe the best environmental policies are those that are understood, owned, and actively practiced by every team member — not just posted on a wall.
7
🤝Supplier & Partner Standards

We extend our environmental commitment to our supply chain by giving preference to suppliers and business partners who demonstrate responsible environmental practices.

  • Preference given to manufacturers with documented environmental management systems
  • Evaluation of supplier environmental certifications during procurement decisions
  • Preference for locally sourced products and services where available to reduce transport emissions
  • Regular review of our supplier base for environmental compliance and improvement
We recognize we cannot directly control our suppliers' practices, but we can make purchasing decisions that reward and encourage environmentally responsible businesses.

Our Green Journey

Environmental Milestones

MILESTONE 01

Fluid Recycling Program Established

Odes UTV LLC partnered with a California-certified hazardous waste disposal provider to ensure all used oils, coolants, and automotive fluids from our service department are properly collected and recycled — diverting harmful materials from landfills and waterways.

MILESTONE 02

Paperless Operations Initiative Launched

We began our transition to digital-first operations — moving invoices, customer records, service documents, and contracts to electronic formats. This single initiative has significantly reduced our paper consumption and improved operational efficiency at the same time.

MILESTONE 03

Facility Recycling Program Expanded

We expanded our on-site recycling infrastructure to cover cardboard, plastics, metals, batteries, and electronic waste. Clearly labeled recycling stations were placed throughout the facility to make responsible disposal easy for every team member.

MILESTONE 04

LED Lighting Conversion Begun

We began the progressive conversion of our facility lighting from energy-intensive fluorescent and incandescent bulbs to energy-efficient LED technology — reducing electricity consumption and improving workplace lighting quality simultaneously.

MILESTONE 05 — ONGOING

Trail Stewardship Education Program

We integrated environmental responsibility into every customer interaction — providing trail stewardship information, responsible riding guidelines, and Leave No Trace principles to every UTV purchaser. Because the best way to protect the trails is to educate the people who ride them.

🌍

Our Green Promise

We started Odes UTV LLC because we love the outdoors. The mountains, deserts, forests, and trails of Southern California are not just our business backdrop — they are our home and our passion. Protecting them is not optional. It is personal.

Every decision we make — from how we dispose of a quart of oil to how we package a shipment — is made with an eye toward its environmental impact. We will always strive to do more, improve more, and set a higher standard for what a responsible powersports dealership looks like.
