Pelco applied for the partnership after more than two years of dedication to conserve energy, through efforts from facility-wide recycling to installing improved lighting.

"We are dedicated to doing our part to protect the environment by considering how 'green' can be incorporated in our daily activities," says Julie DeBenedetto, director of employee services and facilities. "We believe that an organization-wide energy management approach will help us enhance our financial health, improve the environment and drive value to customers through cost efficiency."

As part of the partnership commitment, Pelco will measure, track, and benchmark energy performance; develop and implement a plan to improve the company's energy performance; adopt the Energy Star strategy, and educate employees as well as the public about the partnership, activities and achievements.
