Stewardship of energy resources and the environment is not just a result of the big policy decisions; it is also a matter of making simple but impactful behavioral changes. WPPI Energy serves as a model for employees, member utilities, customers and guests by adopting sustainability policies and best practices that exemplify energy awareness and environmental sensitivity.

For example, WPPI Energy's policies encourage the purchase of environmentally and socially responsible materials and products, including environmentally positioned and Green Seal certified cleaning supplies; office paper, printed materials and paper products that includes post-consumer recycled content; and ENERGY STAR products such as copiers, appliances and computers.

All WPPI Energy employees strive to minimize waste by adopting earth-friendly practices, such as the reduction, reuse and recycling of paper, plastic and glass. Recycling containers are kept visible and accessible for use by all staff and visitors. Caterers are encouraged to reduce the waste at meetings and events by minimizing the use of disposable platters, plates and utensils, and employees are encouraged to use paperless technology for meeting communications and presentations whenever possible.
