Green Initiatives at EBSCO Publishing

Being an environmentally-conscious company has long been a guid­ing directive of EBSCO Publishing. 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.

In today’s business climate, some feel that successful growth and en­vironmental stewardship are often mutually exclusive concepts. However, here at EBSCO Publishing we believe the opposite--that in order to be truly successful in the long term, a company needs to proactively take care of the land and resources that have helped to sustain it through its many years of development.

The following items are some of the many initiatives instituted over the past few years:
EBSCO recycles cardboard, mixed paper, e.g., maga­zines and newspapers, (see EBSCO Missing Copy Bank information to the left) plastic bottles and cans, and promotes the use of recycled paper throughout the company.
Light bulbs in EBSCO's Ipswich headquarters buildings have been changed from incandes­cent to high-efficiency fluorescents, and most areas have been equipped with either timers or motion and sound sensors that shut off the lights when not occupied.
EBSCO water bottles and travel mugs have been given to employees to cut down on paper and styrofoam waste.
Guest speaker programs bring in experts to speak to employees about healthy landscaping, green cleaning and local land stewardship.
The company’s fleet of corporate cars is being switched over to hybrid models.
Commuter Rail reimbursement is available for employees using public transportation.
Building renovations include the installation of Energy Management Systems that will potentially save over 20% in costs and energy consumption per year.
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.
A solar-based hot water system supplies the company dining facility's hot water needs.
