Green Initiatives
Being an environmentally-conscious company has long been a guiding directive of EBSCO.
EBSCO has always tried to implement new initiatives that help the company operate in a more efficient
and environmentally-sound manner. Our goal is to continue to grow as a company, while simultaneously
making a positive impact on the environment.
Major EBSCO Green Initiatives:
Solar Power
192-panel solar arrays have been installed in two of EBSCO’s three renovated mill buildings that make up the company’s Ipswich, Massachusetts campus. The solar electrical system is expected to offset 20% to 25% of the building’s energy needs. Read WCVB Story
