EPA Names Motorola Mobility to Top 20 Tech and Telecom Green Power List

We’re proud to once again be recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for being one of the leaders in their Green Power Partnership Program. Motorola placed seventh on the Top 20 Tech and Telecom Green Power list for purchasing 80,000,000 (kWh) of green power, which equals 66% of our total U.S. electricity use coming from wind power.

Here’s a description of the program from the EPA website:

The Green Power Partnership works with a wide variety of leading organizations — from Fortune 500® companies to local, state and federal governments, and a growing number of colleges and universities. The following Top Partner Rankings highlight the annual green power use of leading Green Power Partners within the United States and across individual industry sectors.

Using green power helps reduce the environmental impacts of electricity use and supports the development of new renewable generation capacity nationwide. Usage amounts reflect U.S. operations only and are sourced from U.S.-based green power resources. Organizations can meet EPA Partnership requirements using any combination of three different product options: (1) Renewable Energy Certificates, (2) On-site generation, and (3) Utility green power products.

Our use of wind power is part of several steps we take to reduce our environmental footprint, including using encouraging product recycling and occupying buildings with LEED certification where practical.
