OAKLAND RAIDERS, FIRMGREEN TEAM UP TO ‘GO GREEN’ IN BAY AREA
The Raiders have established a relationship with FirmGreen, whose team of leading environmental consultants was retained to assist the organization in reducing its carbon footprint. Over the next three years, FirmGreen will be evaluating the Raiders’ day-to-day and game day operations to identify opportunities for the Raiders to improve their environmental responsibility.
“We are pleased to work with FirmGreen and look forward to finding additional creative ways to further our eco-friendly approach to business,” said Raider Chief Executive Amy Trask.
While the Raiders understand that this is a process, the organization already has made some changes. The team is expanding their recycling efforts and increasing their use of products made with recycled materials. With the help of FirmGreen, the Raiders have begun evaluating transportation initiatives including encouraging carpooling and the use of high efficiency, low emission vehicles such as those powered by compressed natural gas (CNG).
In addition, the Raiders are identifying opportunities to lower electrical consumption through efficiencies and the use of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and green CNG. The relationship with the Oakland Raiders provides FirmGreen a highly visible arena to showcase their clean, green, cost efficient energy solutions within the environmentally conscious Bay Area community. FirmGreen offers green solutions geared toward residential and business facilities as well as small and large scale events, in the following sectors: solar panels, natural gas fueled generators, biodegradable products and overall general energy consultation.
“We are excited to work with the Raiders because of their commitment to becoming a more eco-friendly team,” said Steve Hodge, Business Development Director for FirmGreen.
