Good for the Earth & Good for Business
To date, we have made significant progress by implementing several initiatives to reduce energy consumption and decrease potential adverse effects on the environment.
Among them G3 has:
- Installed 650 solar panels used at the G3 Campus
- Saved 5.9 million kWh of energy annually through motion-detecting lights
- Diverted over 1,000 tons of waste material a year from landfill through well-established recycling programs
G3's commitment to sustainability extends into its products and solutions:
