To help lower our carbon footprint and identify smarter ways to live and work, Hobart has taken the following steps:

• We’ve replaced incandescent lighting with fluorescent and upgraded or retrofitted existing fluorescent lighting systems to utilize energy-saving technologies at our Troy campus.
• We’ve installed motion sensors on fluorescent lighting at our Hillsboro plant, so when the area is not in use, neither is electricity.
• We’re actively working toward a 100,000 kWh/year reduction— approximately 32% reduction in lighting wattage—at our Traulsen plant to decrease our overall electrical usage by 7%.
