How is Pitney Bowes addressing energy and resource conservation of its operations?
Our cross-functional energy task force raises employee awareness about energy conservation. Through the end of 2008 we reduced our electricity consumption by more than 3 million kilowatt hours, saving $873,000 and reducing our carbon footprint by 2,602 metric tons of CO2. Energy saving initiatives have included better lighting systems, improved heating, ventilation and air conditioning controls, more efficient chillers, conveyors and computer monitors, and the use of motion sensors to shut off lights in unused spaces.
