Moore & Giles is going solar! In fact, they just completed the installation of a state-of-the-art solar energy system to reduce their carbon footprint and promote sustainability throughout the leather industry.
By harnessing the power of the sun, Moore & Giles seeks to minimize its reliance on non-renewable energy sources, contributing to a cleaner, greener future. The decision to embrace solar energy aligns seamlessly with the company’s core values and unwavering dedication to sustainable practices.
Implemented across Moore & Giles’ facilities in Lynchburg, Virginia, the new solar energy system boasts cutting-edge photovoltaic technology. The extensive array of solar panels, strategically positioned on rooftops and suitable areas, empowers the company to generate a substantial amount of clean energy. Notably, this innovative initiative not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions but also significantly reduces the company’s dependence on traditional electricity grids.
