Our Goal
At Berkshire, our goal is to optimize energy efficiency and water conservation by monitoring consumption in ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager®, purchasing efficient products and appliances, and employing operational best practices. We reduce waste by tracking production and recycling rates, implementing waste management best practices, and purchasing recycled content and zero waste materials.
We have established performance targets to monitor our progress. By 2025, we strive to achieve a 10% reduction in energy, greenhouse gas emissions, and water and a 30% waste diversion rate. Performance is measured from a 2015 baseline to the 2025 target.
