ConRes recognizes that business processes can have a negative impact on the environment. Were committed to finding ways in which we can improve our sustainability practices to positively impact our community, our society, and, ultimately, our planet.

KEVIN MCCANN, COO

Over the past several years we have steadily improved our footprint. In addition to our recycling and sustainable sourcing efforts, we have replaced overhead fixtures lights with energy-efficient LEDs, installed solar panels on the roof of our corporate headquarters, added 2, Level 2 EV stations (in the ChargePoint Network) that can accommodate 4 EVs at the same time.

Solar currently provides more than 1/3 of our electric needs. As we continue to identify and implement methods to reduce, reuse, and recycle, we expect solar to increase as a percentage of our total energy consumption.
