Time Warner Cable (NYSE:TWC) announced that its "Go Green" initiative has resulted in a 38% reduction in the company's carbon intensity over the past two years, exceeding its goal of 15%. The company focused on increased energy efficiency and improved waste and vehicle management, promoting sustainability within its supply chain, and building employee "Green Teams" around the country.
Energy efficiency was one of the MSO's largest efforts. TWC finalized its real estate and facilities guidelines based on the U.S. Green ENERGY STAR standards. Three facilities and data centers, including two in Charlotte, NC, and one in Herndon, VA, achieved Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. TWC also achieved a 14.7% increase from 2012 fuel efficiency within its fleet of 20,000 vehicles by purchasing more fuel-efficient models. At least 90% of all new TWC set-top boxes meet U.S. EPA Energy Star 3.0 efficiency standards.
