2023年3月7日,在愉快的草原(WI)倉庫後四個配送中心位於路易斯維爾(肯塔基州)和一個在瓦倫西亞(CA)現在也獲得電力來自可再生能源。這是一個進一步的可持續發展戰略供應鏈和電子商務服務提供商,加上它的母公司貝塔斯曼,目標是到2030年實現碳中和。”使我們能夠實現這一雄心勃勃的目標,全世界所有歐維特網站將轉換為綠色電力,”說Mitat Aydindag,歐維特北美總統解釋策略。“這突顯出我們公司的致力於環境保護和負責任的使用自然資源。是很重要的我們,我們的成功與否,不僅經濟數據,而且我們已經采取的措施來構建一個更可持續的組織。”In general, however, the supply of "true" green power, i.e. power from renewable sources such as solar and wind, is still very limited in the U.S., and making the switch is sometimes very difficult, depending on the region. That's why Arvato Supply Chain Solutions in Louisville, Kentucky, is working with two local electric utilities, LG&E and East Kentucky Power Cooperative. Both companies offer a green power program that buys "green" energy to offset the electricity consumed on-site. "Because our distribution centers in Louisville are among the first in the U.S., we are especially proud that these sites are now purchasing green electricity to support the expansion of renewable energy in the region," says Rachael Miller, Site Director for Arvato's Louisville campus. The Valencia, California, site, on the other hand, relies on the Clean Power Alliance. Clean Power Alliance is the locally operated not-for-profit electricity provider for 30 cities across Los Angeles County and Ventura County, as well as the unincorporated areas of both counties. Here, the traditional utility provides transmission and distribution of the electricity, while a third party purchases the green power on behalf of program participants. In 2020, 70 percent of the electricity provided came from solar power and 30 percent from wind power. “It’s very encouraging when businesses make the leadership decision to select 100 percent renewable energy as their preferred power option,” said Matthew Langer, Chief Operating Officer at Clean Power Alliance. “When companies like Arvato choose to use renewable energy in their operations, it can help spur demand for more renewables in the market and contribute to the renewable energy transition." This view is shared by Stephan Hackert, Vice President and Industry Lead Healthcare U.S. at Arvato: "All of our employees in the U.S. are very proud of this commitment – after all, we are successively sourcing more and more of our country-wide electricity needs from clean, renewable sources." These kilowatt hours make an important contribution to the targeted climate neutrality. "Having already made a decisive contribution to achieving our climate protection targets with these measures, we will now look at the remaining emissions and consider which measures we can use to compensate for them," adds Mitat Aydindag. At the beginning of the year, Arvato’s newest location in Las Vegas was officially opened. Following the ambitious decision to become climate-neutral by 2030, Arvato placed a high value on sustainability while designing the warehouse. The logistics center, for example, was designed with a reflecting roof that absorbs only a small amount of direct sunlight. It effectively prevents the building from overheating, lowering energy usage for air conditioning. The highly efficient LED lighting with connected occupancy sensors deployed throughout the building also contributes to energy savings. Furthermore, the warehouse has around 250 skylights that allow plenty of daylight into the building, thereby reducing the power consumption. "Sustainability is a continuous improvement effort," highlights Mitat Aydindag. Arvato Supply Chain Solutions has a total of 87 warehouses on five continents with more than 27 million square feet of storage space. In the US, the warehouse network includes a total of 10 locations in Ontario (CA), Valencia (CA), Las Vegas (NV), Pleasant Prairie (WI), Louisville (KY) and Memphis (TN), where comprehensive logistics services are provided to numerous customers in the consumer tech and healthcare industries.
