Carbon-free power across North American sites sets industry benchmark
Davis-Standard, a designer and manufacturer of extrusion and converting technology, has reached a significant milestone in its sustainability journey: all of its North American facilities are now powered by 100 percent carbon-free electricity.
The company states that the achievement solidifies its commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable manufacturing practices within the industry.
By transitioning to 100 percent carbon-free electricity in North America, Davis-Standard has taken a decisive step towards reducing its carbon footprint and mitigating climate change impacts, in line with its sustainability goals.
Davis-Standard achieved this milestone by purchasing Green-e certified Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) for its facilities in Pawcatuck, Connecticut, and Fulton, New York. The RECs ensure that the electricity used in these locations is generated from renewable sources, such as wind or solar power.
In addition, Davis-Standard's operations in Canada's Greater Toronto Area utilize electricity sourced from hydroelectric sources, further contributing to the company's carbon-free energy usage.
The accomplishment complements Davis-Standard's existing ISO 14001-certified facilities and its Maillefer brand's EcoVadis silver award.
Davis-Standard CEO Giovanni Spitale commented, This milestone reflects our unwavering commitment to sustainability and underscores our dedication to reducing our environmental impact. By transitioning to renewable energy sources and leveraging green certifications like Green-e and ISO 14001, we are taking proactive steps towards building a more sustainable future for generations to come.
