Davis-Standard Goes Carbon-Free
All North American facilities are powered by 100% carbon-free electricity.
Davis-Standard LLC has announced that all of its North American facilities are now powered by 100% carbon-free electricity. According to the builder of extrusion and converting equipment, this achievement solidifies its commitment to environmental stewardship and underscores its leadership in sustainable manufacturing practices within the industry.
By transitioning to 100% carbon-free electricity in North America, Davis-Standard says it’s taken a decisive step toward reducing its carbon footprint and mitigating climate change impacts. This milestone aligns with the company's overarching sustainability goals and demonstrates its dedication to operating in an environmentally responsible manner.
In a release, Davis-Standard explains that it achieved this milestone by purchasing Green-e certified Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) for its Pawcatuck, Connecticut, and Fulton, New York, facilities. These RECs are said to guarantee that the electricity used in these locations is generated from renewable sources, such as wind or solar power, further solidifying Davis-Standard's commitment to sustainable energy practices.
Additionally, Davis-Standard's greater Toronto area operations utilize electricity sourced from hydroelectric sources, further contributing to the company's carbon-free energy usage.
This accomplishment complements Davis-Standard's existing ISO 14001-certified facilities and its Maillefer brand’s EcoVadis Silver Award, highlighting the company's dedication to sustainability and environmental responsibility across its operations, according to the company’s statement.
“We are incredibly proud to announce that all of our North American facilities are now powered by 100% carbon-free electricity,” states Giovanni Spitale, CEO at Davis-Standard. “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 toward building a more sustainable future for generations to come.”
