Almo Corporation is committed to responsible environmental stewardship and sustainable business practices. While there is much more that will be needed to be done, Almo is actively working to reduce our overall carbon footprint and to create a sustainable business model that minimizes our impact on the environment.

Renewable Energy

We have installed over 3,200 solar panels and currently have over 430,000 sq.ft. of warehousing space that run completely on solar energy. Our solar-panel systems produce a combined total of 1.1 million kW-h annually, fulfilling 100% of our electricity needs for two of our buildings. This greatly reduces our dependence on grid-generated, non-renewable electricity for many years to come.

Energy Savings

Today, all Almo warehouses utilize motion-sensing lighting which can cut in half the electricity used in our distribution facilities. All of our offices use similar technology. Additionally, we are in the process of improving the energy efficiency of our lighting by another 15%-25% by replacing all fixtures with LED technology.

Forklift CO2 Emissions

We are in the process of converting our fleet of more than 125 forklifts from liquid propane engines to highly-efficient, battery-operated forklifts.
