Rise and shine! Oshkosh, Wisconsin-based distributor 4imprint (PPAI 107200, D15) announced earlier this week that its distribution center will be powered by a 2,600-panel solar array.

In a statement, the company says that the solar array is expected to generate one megawatt of electricity, which is expected to alleviate more than 40% of the center’s current energy requirements. If there’s any excess electricity, 4imprint will feed it into the local grid.

4imprint CEO Kevin Lyons-Tarr says, “This project allows us to dramatically increase the proportion of the business we power with renewable energy. It’s an exciting step forward on our journey to become a more sustainable company.” Installation of the solar array is scheduled to begin in April and be completed by August.

In 2017, 4imprint began measuring the company’s environmental impact by creating an internal, environmentally focused team.

In 2020, 4imprint pledged carbon neutrality by December 2022. The company was certified as a CarbonNeutral company by Natural Capital Partners in November.
