EPIC Metals Charitable Foundation Commits Funds for Purchase of Two EV Chargers

As a provider of green building solutions, EPIC Metals Corporation strives to demonstrate sustainability leadership in its own operations – from generating more than 50% of the energy demand at its Greensburg, Pa., manufacturing plant with on-site solar panels to displacing 2,200 gallons of gasoline through its three electric vehicle charging stations installed during 2016 in Braddock, Pa. In March, the manufacturer of metal deck systems committed to raising the profile of vehicle electrification in the region through the commitment of funding two EV chargers at Pittsburgh’s Energy Innovation Center (EIC). These charging stations should be operational later this year.

The gift builds on the sustainability features of the LEED Platinum EIC, a showcase for clean energy technologies, a center dedicated to sustainable workforce development, and the CEOs for Sustainability meeting space. EPIC Metals Vice President David F. Landis is a participant in CEOs for Sustainability.

Special thanks to the CEO for Sustainability Speaker Series sponsors:

Savvy business leaders are the driving force behind transformational sustainability strategies, linking business sustainability performance, financial performance, and regional quality of life. Recognizing executives’ critical role in achieving these tremendous potential benefits, CEOs from leading private-sector companies throughout the Pittsburgh region have established the CEOs for Sustainability executive council. Their vision:

CEOs for Sustainability is exemplary executive leadership and collaboration to drive positive change in the region. By demonstrating responsibility and creativity in the use of precious resources (human, natural, energy, capital and materials), we ensure enduring economic and social prosperity for our businesses and for our regional community.

Improving Business Performance and Quality of Life in the Region

Through CEOs for Sustainability, CEOs of the region’s leading companies share best sustainable business practices and collaborate in growing the ranks of those around the region that reap the benefits of a triple bottom line — for people, planet, and profits. The group is working to increase the number of businesses that practice, measure, and publicly report their sustainable business performance. The CEOs recognize that prosperous businesses are the foundation of a successful, strong region.

To demonstrate their commitment and inspire other companies in the region, 100 percent of the CEOs for Sustainability companies have achieved the Southwestern Pennsylvania Sustainable Business Compact On Ramp. Through the On Ramp, businesses can assess their sustainability performance, commit to progress, and follow a roadmap to Compact achievement.
