Follow on Google News | Updated Sustainability Report from NewAge(R) Industries Showcases Recent Building ImprovementsNewAge has released the second edition of its sustainability report which highlights its continuing efforts on environmental and corporate responsibility such as an electric vehicle charging station, on-demand generators and increased recycling.
By: NewAge Industries, Inc. This Second Edition report highlights recent upgrades such as: • The installation of an electric vehicle charging station • Energy-efficient LED lighting in all building renovation areas • Becoming a zero landfill organization by using enhanced recycling and an EfW, or Energy from Waste, facility • On-demand generators that power on in the event of electrical service interruption • The recycling of scrap silicone material • A cardboard compactor for easier cardboard recycling • Updated figures for kilowatt hours saved thanks to the company's rooftop solar power array "We've been using solar power for over six years," noted Ken Baker, CEO. "Our system has over four thousand panels and generates a megawatt of electricity each year, allowing us to source a good portion of our energy needs cleanly and sustainably. We're very pleased with that." NewAge is currently undergoing building renovations to expand production and warehousing for its AdvantaPure( "It took a lot of effort to make all of these changes happen," said Baker. "Yes, it would be easier to throw all of our trash away and let it end up in a landfill. It would also be easier to keep using our inefficient, old lighting and to tell our customers 'Sorry, the power's out, we can't help you' during outages. But none of that is good for the environment, our relationships or our bottom line. We've chosen to take a stand and become an example." Baker also notes that part of NewAge's sustainability involves its status as an employee-owned (ESOP) organization. Employee ownership allows for better employee retention and continuity while it lessens competitors' interest and opportunities for mergers or acquisitions. The pride of ownership helps employees commit to success as they share in both rewards and risks.
