We are pleased to announce our 4,092 solar panels now cover 200,000 square feet of Berjé’s 235,000-square-foot flagship facility. The system will produce an estimated 1,626,000kWh annually. In just one year, the renewable energy source will equate to planting 24,000 trees, taking 170 passenger cars off the road, or reducing the consumption of 106,000 gallons of gasoline. The impact over 25 years increases to planting 680,000 trees, taking 4,860 passenger vehicles off the road, or reducing the consumption of over 3 million gallons of gasoline.
“The benefits of switching to solar energy are not only substantial for our business but also for our environment,” said Kim Bleimann, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Berjé. “Sustainability is an important part of our business and it’s important for us to play an active role in protecting our environment for generations to come. At Berjé finding new ways to promote sustainability will be a key component to the continued success of our more than 60-year- old family-owned business.”
