Our Sustainable Business Practices
OUR MISSION
Creative Energies develops and inspires healthy communities through innovative energy solutions. Our values lead us to strive for sustainable social, economic and environmental business practices.
|
OUR VISION
Creative Energies envisions a healthy world efficiently fueled by non-polluting and renewable power.
|
Creative Energies is a mission-driven business, one defined by a sense of purpose other than simply making a profit. The more people, homes and businesses we serve, the more widely renewable energy technologies will be utilized.
We strive to reduce our environmental impact in all aspects of our business operation. Here are a few examples of our efforts.
Waste Stream Reduction
 |
|
We reuse wire, pipe and wood scrap that
most other contractors send to landfills.
|
|
Our building is heated with a ground source heat pump.
| |
|
| |
All packaging materials are recycled.
|
|
Where possible, we select equipment for our systems that use efficient and recyclable packaging. These reusable plastic corner protectors on Evergreen solar modules dramatically reduce the amount of cardboard packaging.
| |
|
| |
Our offices use electronic documents whenever possible. We generate little office paper waste per month.
|
Transportation Efficiency
Our Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency (CAFE) has improved since first measuring in 2006.
|
Our office locations are selected with efficient commuting in mind. About half of our daily commutes to work are non-motorized.
| |
|
| |
We restrict the use of our heavy vehicles to heavy use applications. For site visits, meetings and presentations we use high mile-per-gallon vehicles.
|
Energy Use
|
Our offices use only efficient lighting and equipment.
| |
|
| |
We employ energy efficiency and rely on renewable energy in many of our own homes.
|
Regional Impact
|
We are a member of 1% for the Tetons and 1% for the Planet, because we recognize that even though we're an environmentally conscious business, we still impact our environment. Donating 1% of our annual sales to organizations that strive to protect and improve the environments in which we operate, provides them the funding to help mitigate these impacts.
