The Timberland Co. has achieved a significant reduction in its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The company reduced its emissions by 36% in 2009 over its 2006 baseline coming from Timberland-owned and -operated facilities and employee air travel. Timberland is on pace to reach its goal of a 50% emissions reduction by the end of this year.
By the end of 2009, Timberland sourced approximately 12% renewable energy globally. Timberland uses primarily solar power in its Ontario distribution center and 100% wind power at its Enschede, Netherlands, site. In 2009, Timberland's Danville, Ky., distribution center began purchasing locally produced renewable electricity.
