Boeing recently earned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry Award, recognizing its significant efforts in energy reduction at the Developmental Center near Seattle.
- The Challenge encouraged industrial sites to reduce their energy intensity by 10% within five years; Boeing exceeded the target with a 15% reduction.
Why it matters: The award, Boeing’s sixth, underscores the company’s efforts in reducing its energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions and positions it as a sustainability and energy efficiency leader in aerospace. It reflects internal efforts and helps set benchmarks for other companies to follow.
What we’re saying: “Boeing's recognition by the EPA underscores our efforts toward cost-effective, sustainable energy reduction,” said Jill Graftenreed, vice president, Global Enterprise Sustainability. “We are always finding new ways to innovate as we work to a more sustainable future.”
