Company will source clean energy through DTE’s
MIGreenPower program
Shiloh Industries (NASDAQ: SHLO), an environmentally focused
global supplier of lightweighting, noise, and vibration solutions
to the automotive, commercial vehicle and other industrial markets,
has joined DTE Energy’s MIGreenPower program, committing to power
three facilities with 100% Michigan-made clean energy. The move
will offset the equivalent of nearly 4,000 metric tons of carbon
dioxide emissions, furthering Shiloh’s dedication to sustainability
and focus on the environment.
Through DTE’s MIGreenPower, Shiloh will provide clean energy for
its Plymouth Technical Center and stamping plants in Roseville and
Warren. DTE’s MIGreenPower is a voluntary clean energy program that
enables customers to source their power from clean energy projects
without owning and maintaining additional exterior equipment.
“Shiloh is proud to embrace DTE’s MIGreenPower program, taking
an important step toward achieving our goal of carbon neutrality,”
said Ramzi Hermiz, president and CEO of Shiloh. “The program
complements our sustainability initiatives, including our global
network of landfill-free facilities and our portfolio of 100%
recyclable products.”
The company joins other well-known institutions including Ford
Motor Company, General Motors, The Detroit Zoo and the University
of Michigan who are using DTE’s MIGreenPower program to meet their
sustainability targets.
“We’re excited to welcome Shiloh into our community of partners
who are accelerating the development of locally-sourced renewable
energy – which is great for Michigan’s environment and economy,”
said Irene Dimitry, vice president of Renewable Energy, DTE Energy.
“DTE’s MIGreenPower provides an easy and affordable option for
customers interested in reducing their electricity-based carbon
footprint.”
With clean energy commitments from residential, business and
industrial customers, DTE’s MIGreenPower is one of the largest
voluntary renewable energy programs in the country. DTE is
expanding its clean energy programs and the company will build or
acquire additional wind and solar assets to meet increasing
customer demand.
DTE is Michigan’s largest producer of clean energy, and the
company will more than double its renewable energy generation
capacity over the next five years, investing $2.8 billion in wind
and solar.
As a lightweighting company, Shiloh helps original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs) reduce on-vehicle weight. Reducing weight
improves fuel economy for internal combustion engine vehicles or
extends the battery life on electric vehicles, all while reducing
CO2 emissions.
“Our emphasis on lightweighting and sustainability affects
everything from product design, raw material consumption,
manufacturing operations, and transportation to product-end-use,”
Hermiz said. “We will continue to lead with a sustainability
strategy by engineering new ways to reduce our and our customer’s
carbon footprint.”
