They pledge to continue to make a safe and reusable product free of harmful materials such as lead.

Fiesta remains vigilant in the pursuit of innovation to reduce their carbon footprint on the global landscape. By rerouting waste kiln heat to other processes they are able to eliminate the usage of enough gas annually to heat nearly 1 000 homes for an entire winter. Fiesta has also implemented a clay reclamation system which blends back waste clay into their clay formulation at a rate of 2 tons per day. In addition 99% of all products are made in the USA cutting the need for overseas shipments. Fiesta pledges to reduce their amount of resource consumption recycle what they use and eliminate the use of natural resources when possible. In 2007 a review of their packaging allowed for unnecessary cardboard to be removed--this improvement cut their cardboard usage by 17 tons over the course of a year. In addition to the reduction of the cardboard that is used all waste cardboard is recycled and any new material they purchase has a minimum of 39% recycled paper content. When innovating Fiesta is mindful of the waste generated in upgrading their facility. In 2006 Fiesta upgraded wastewater treatment processes and was able to reclaim an additional 1.2 million pounds of clear glaze which previously would have been discarded. In 2007 they recycled over 200 000 pounds of steel cardboard and glass and implemented a paperless order confirmation system saving over half a million sheets of paper in the course of 1 year.
