IM Ingram Micro Inc. (delisted)

Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM), the world's largest technology distributor and supply-chain services provider, announced today that for the first time it appears as No. 61 on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Fortune 500® list of the largest green power purchasers. Ingram Micro Inc. Corporate Headquarters is purchasing more than 3 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of green power annually, which is enough green power to meet 107 percent of the facility's electricity use. The company is buying renewable energy certificates (RECs) from Renewable Choice Energy. This demonstrates a proactive choice to switch away from traditional sources of electricity generation and support cleaner renewable energy alternatives.

Yesterday, EPA updated each of its National Top Partner lists, highlighting some of America's largest green power purchasers. Each list highlights EPA Green Power Partners that have completed the largest annual voluntary purchases through October 5, 2011. EPA updates its Top Partner Lists quarterly at http://www.epa.gov/greenpower/toplists/.

"This is a big step in our corporate social responsibility efforts and we are proud to be recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency," said Keith Bradley, senior executive vice president and president, North America. "Purchasing green power helps our organization become more sustainable while also making good business sense. I recently made a commitment to reduce our North American greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent over five years. Green power purchases will help us reach this goal and provide substantial savings in energy costs."

Green power is electricity that is generated from environmentally preferable renewable resources, such as wind, solar, geothermal, biogas, biomass, and low-impact hydro. Purchases of green power help accelerate the development of new renewable energy capacity nationwide and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the power sector.

"EPA's Green Power Partners consistently raise the bar for using clean, renewable electricity," said EPA Assistant Administrator for the Office of Air and Radiation, Gina McCarthy. "Ingram Micro's commitment to using green power serves as an example of leadership for others to follow."

According to the U.S. EPA, Ingram Micro's green power purchase of more than 3 million kWh for their corporate headquarters is equivalent to avoiding the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of more than 400 passenger vehicles per year, or the CO2 emissions from the electricity use of nearly 300 average American homes annually.

"EPA is excited to welcome Ingram Micro Inc. Corporate Headquarters as a Green Power Partner and congratulates them on their appearance in the Fortune 500® list of largest green power purchasers," said Blaine Collison, Director of EPA's Green Power Partnership. "By opting to purchase renewable energy, Ingram Micro Inc. is helping to grow the nation's voluntary green power market while also reducing greenhouse gas emissions."

The company's environmental efforts are part of a global corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative launched last year to measure and promote its sustainable activities impacting the environment, the workplace and its local communities. Ingram Micro monitors and tracks its impacts in a variety of areas throughout the world, disclosing the results in a corporate social responsibility report available to the public. The company works closely with its business partners to contribute to a socially responsible supply chain. In Newsweek's 2011 Green Rankings, Ingram Micro is listed at No. 33, leading the technology distribution industry with its efforts to lessen its impact on the environment.
