Advanced Energy Receives Platinum Award from ClimateWise at Envirovation 2019


Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: AEIS) - a global leader in highly engineered, precision power conversion, measurement and control solutions - is pleased to announce it has been awarded Platinum level from ClimateWise, a voluntary climate change action program in Fort Collins, Colo. that offers simple solutions to help businesses reduce their environmental impact, save money and gain recognition for their conservation achievements. Attaining the highest award level for the second consecutive year, Advanced Energy proudly accepted its award at Envirovation, a ClimateWise recognition event that took place on April 25, 2019 at the Drake Centre in Fort Collins.

The ClimateWise program offers five primary badges - Energy, Water, Waste, Transportation and Social Responsibility - and one specialty badge that can be earned by companies helping the city of Fort Collins achieve its environmental goals. Each badge embraces a combination of best management practices, actions, projects, innovative ideas, challenges and educational events. Every year, businesses are awarded a level based on the total points achieved across all the badges.

"As the Mayor of the City of Fort Colins, I'd like to thank Advanced Energy for their longtime participation and contributions to the ClimateWise program and the Fort Collins community," says Fort Collins Mayor, Wade Troxell. "Since 2001, their staff has played a critical role in supporting the City's Climate Action Plan goals by serving on the program's Advisory Committee and in turn influencing the overall direction of this longtime sustainability program," adds Mayor Troxell. "By setting annual operational goals to reduce their facility and staff member's environmental impact, they've helped create a forward-thinking standard for others to follow. Advanced Energy is a leading energy technology company that helps our climate economy objectives as well."



"As one of 190 participating businesses and organizations, we are proud of our collaborative efforts to support the City of Fort Collins' Climate Action Plan and to be a good corporate citizen of our hometown," says JD Johnson, environmental compliance manager at Advanced Energy. "Our programs not only reduced our environmental impact as a company, but also created sustainable ideas to help our customers and improve our community."

Among its 2018 ClimateWise highlights, Advanced Energy diverted 77 percent of its waste to recycling. Profits from recycling cover landfill charges and fund programs that build employee awareness and good habits in recycling and conservation both at work and home.


Johnson added, "I also thank the dedicated individuals in our facilities department who do all the heavy lifting every day and serve as the muscle behind our environmental efforts."
