ABOUT THE COMPANY
Republic Services, Inc. (NYSE: RSG) is a leader in the environmental services industry. We provide customers with the most complete set of products and services, including recycling, waste, special waste, hazardous waste and field services. Our industry-leading commitments to advance circularity and support decarbonization are helping deliver on our vision to partner with customers to create a more sustainable world.
In 2025, Republic’s total company revenue was $16.6 billion, and adjusted EBITDA was $5.3 billion. We serve 13 million customers and operate more than 1,000 locations, including collection and transfer stations, recycling and polymer centers, treatment facilities, and landfills.
Although we operate across North America, the collection, recycling, treatment, or disposal of materials is a local business, and the dynamics and opportunities differ in each market we serve. By combining local operational management with standardized business practices, we drive greater operating efficiencies across the company while maintaining day-to-day operational decisions at the local level, closest to the customer.
Our customers, including small businesses, major corporations and municipalities, want a partner with the expertise and capabilities to effectively manage their multiple recycling and waste streams. They choose Republic Services because we are committed to exceeding their expectations and helping them achieve their sustainability goals. Our 42,000 team members understand that it's not just what we do that matters, but how we do it.
Our company values guide our daily actions:
- Safe: We protect the livelihoods of our colleagues and communities.
- Committed to Serve: We go above and beyond to exceed our customers’ expectations.
- Environmentally Responsible: We take action to improve our environment.
- Driven: We deliver results in the right way.
- Human-Centered: We respect the dignity and unique potential of every person.
We are proud of our high employee engagement score of 86. We have an inclusive and diverse culture where every voice counts. In addition, our team positively impacted 5.1 million people in 2024 through the Republic Services Charitable Foundation and local community grants. These projects are designed to meet the specific needs of the communities we serve, with a focus on building sustainable neighborhoods.
STRATEGY
Republic Services’ strategy is designed to generate profitable growth. Through acquisitions and industry advancements, we safely and sustainably manage our customers’ multiple waste streams through a North American footprint of vertically integrated assets.
We focus on three areas of growth to meet the increasing needs of our customers: recycling and waste, environmental solutions and sustainability innovation.
With our integrated approach, strengthening our position in one area advances other areas of our business. For example, as we grow volume in recycling and waste, we collect additional material to bolster our circularity capabilities. And as we expand environmental solutions, we drive additional opportunities to provide these services to our existing recycling and waste customers.
Recycling and Waste
We continue to expand our recycling and waste business footprint throughout North America through organic growth and targeted acquisitions. The 13 million customers we serve and our more than 5 million pick-ups per day provide us with a distinct advantage. We aggregate materials at scale, unlocking new opportunities for advanced recycling. In addition, we are cross-selling new products and services to better meet our customers’ specific needs.
Environmental Solutions
Our comprehensive environmental solutions capabilities help customers safely manage their most technical waste streams. We are expanding both our capabilities and our geographic footprint. We see strong growth opportunities for our offerings, including PFAS remediation, an increasing customer need.
Sustainability Innovation
Republic’s recent innovations to advance circularity and decarbonization demonstrate our unique ability to leverage sustainability as a platform for growth.
The Republic Services Polymer Center is the nation’s first integrated plastics recycling facility. These innovative sites process rigid plastics from our recycling centers, producing recycled materials that promote true bottle-to-bottle circularity. We also formed Blue Polymers, a joint venture with Ravago, to develop facilities that will further process plastic material from our Polymer Centers to help meet the growing demand for sustainable packaging. We are building a network of Polymer Centers and Blue Polymer facilities across North America.
Our customers are increasingly looking for decarbonization solutions, and we are leveraging our network of landfills to meet that need. Republic is committed to harnessing landfill gas, a natural byproduct of decomposing waste, and converting it to energy. Republic has partnered with renewable gas developers to construct Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) plants at our landfills, expanding beyond the 77 projects we currently have to make progress towards our goal to beneficially reuse 50% more biogas by 2030 (2017 baseline year).

Target regulated industries first
Financial services, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and tech companies face the heaviest regulatory scrutiny and employ the largest compliance teams. These employers have established sponsorship pipelines and are far more likely to file H-1B petitions for qualified candidates.
Emphasize your degree field on your resume
USCIS requires your degree to align with the role. Highlight credentials in law, accounting, finance, or public policy explicitly. A generic business degree with no field specification raises specialty occupation questions during the H-1B adjudication process.
Certifications strengthen your petition significantly
Credentials like CCEP, CRCM, or CFE signal specialized expertise that supports the specialty occupation argument. Employers and immigration attorneys use these to demonstrate the role requires more than a general degree, which helps with USCIS approval.
Frame your experience around regulatory frameworks
Applications tied to specific regulatory regimes, such as FCPA, SOX, HIPAA, or AML, read as genuinely specialized to USCIS. Generic compliance experience is harder to defend as a specialty occupation than expertise in a named federal or international regulatory framework.
Ask about sponsorship early in the process
Many compliance hiring managers have sponsored before but don't advertise it. Raise sponsorship in the first substantive conversation rather than after an offer. Employers who have done it once are far more likely to do it again without hesitation or delay.
Consider O-1A if you have a strong track record
Senior ethics and compliance professionals with published work, speaking engagements, leadership in professional associations, or recognition awards may qualify for O-1A as a non-lottery alternative to H-1B. Discuss this pathway with an immigration attorney before applying.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do ethics and compliance roles qualify as specialty occupations for H-1B sponsorship?
Yes, most ethics and compliance positions qualify as specialty occupations because they typically require a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific field such as law, finance, accounting, or business administration. USCIS looks for a direct relationship between the degree and the role. Positions tied to specific regulatory frameworks like FCPA, AML, or HIPAA compliance strengthen that argument considerably.
What degree do I need to get sponsored for a compliance job in the United States?
Most compliance roles require at least a bachelor's degree in law, finance, accounting, business, or a related field. The degree doesn't need to be from a U.S. institution, but USCIS will assess whether it aligns with the specific job duties. For senior roles, a JD or master's degree in a relevant discipline further supports the specialty occupation determination and reduces the risk of an RFE.
Which employers are most likely to sponsor ethics and compliance professionals?
Large financial institutions, pharmaceutical companies, hospital networks, and enterprise tech companies are the most consistent sponsors. These industries operate under intense federal and state regulatory oversight, which drives sustained demand for compliance headcount. They also have in-house immigration counsel or preferred law firm relationships that make sponsorship logistically straightforward. You can browse currently sponsoring employers in compliance on Migrate Mate.
How does the H-1B lottery affect my chances of getting sponsored in a compliance role?
The standard H-1B lottery selects roughly 25% of registrations, which applies equally to compliance candidates. However, if you hold an advanced U.S. master's degree or higher, you're entered into both the master's cap pool and the general pool, marginally improving your odds. Australians should also consider the E-3 visa, which has no lottery, no cap in practice, and is available year-round for qualifying specialty occupation roles.
Can I transfer my H-1B to a new compliance employer without restarting the process?
Yes. Under H-1B portability rules, you can begin working for a new employer as soon as they file a transfer petition, provided you've maintained valid status and the new role qualifies as a specialty occupation. You don't need to wait for approval before starting. The new employer still needs to obtain a certified LCA reflecting the new position's prevailing wage, which typically takes one to two weeks.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Ethics And Compliance jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
