The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) gave the award to Nissan as a way to congratulate the company for pushing for energy efficiency at its United States plants. This award is offered to companies, businesses or organizations that are constantly striving to up the energy efficiency of their operations, and Nissan has now won this award for the third time in a row.
“We saved enough energy to power more than 700 homes for a year, offset the greenhouse gas emissions of nearly 2,800 tons of landfill waste or better yet, to drive the all-electric Nissan LEAF around the earth more than 40,000 times,” John Martin, Nissan's senior vice president, said. Nissan says that it is just doing its part to become more environmentally friendly by reducing energy loss. They inspected the tubing in the compressed air system in its manufacturing facilities across the United States and fixed nearly all leaks detected.
They claim that as a result, it conserved over 20% of the pressurized air escaping through leaks. They saved 11,300 megawatt hours of energy.
Commenting on the company's efforts to constantly improve on its ecological footprint and help others do the same, John Martin said, “With major manufacturing operations in the Southeast and multiple R&D, design, testing and distribution facilities across the country, we recognize the importance of being environmental stewards within the community.”
“It's more than just a sustainability strategy; it makes good business sense for Nissan—now and for the road ahead,” Nissan's senior vice president went on to argue.
