Sustainability -- meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs—is an integral part of the way we do business, and has been for quite some time.
As a recognized leader in the industry, we have been leading the way in sustainability since the early 1990's. In addition to the development of award-winning, energy-efficient products, we have implemented sustainable business practices in our manufacturing facilities by earning the ISO 14001 certification for environmental management.
As part of our EcoVision program and EcoDesign process, we also set ambitious targets for environmental product advances to improve:
- Product weights
- Energy use
- Hazardous material profile
- Packaging
By improving in these areas, we can reduce our carbon footprint (total energy consumed, waste produced and green house gasses emitted) and better the environment for the present generation as well as those to come.
Our support of sustainable practices and initiatives goes far beyond our facilities, too. We work closely and partner with key governmental and industry organizations such as the US Green Building Council (USGBC), National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency/Department of Energy, (via the ENERGY STAR program),
as well as Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) - all toward making a brighter future possible
for our world.
