How Nielsen-Kellerman Gives Back

Here at Sheepleg we want to do all we can to encourage good environmental stewardship wherever we can in the conduct of our business, so occasionally, we like to highlight a partner that’s taking a positive lead in the right direction. On our product pages, companies that Give Back have a Give Back logo that links to a detailed description of what that company does to Give Back.

Nielsen-Kellerman is a company that produces outdoor electronic instruments such as the Kestrel 1000 Pocket Wind-meter, a meter crucial for hang-glider and light aircraft enthusiasts, climbers, and expedition teams around the world. The company has a commendable approach dedicated to reducing its environmental impact by triple insulating its facility, using high efficiency T5 lighting (which can reduce lighting energy consumption by 65%), and a policy of powering down equipment and lighting not in use.  Nielsen-Kellerman encourages the return of damaged or discarded products for recycling and reuse of durable components with a customer care discount. Nielsen-Kellerman uses a paperless office software system, minimizes use of printed sales materials, and encourages employee use of public transportation with financial rewards, and has 20% employee participation in their carpooling program. In the future, Nielsen-Kellerman has plans to install solar roof-panels to generate half of the factory’s power needs.

Thanks Nielsen-Kellerman, for being environmentally proactive and Giving Back.
