100% of the electricity use at three Hollingsworth locations will be attributed to renewable energy

Detroit, Jan. 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DTE Energy (NYSE: DTE) and Hollingsworth, a value-added third-party logistics business for manufacturing and distribution companies across the United States, today announced Hollingsworth’s enrollment in DTE’s MIGreenPower program. 

MIGreenPower enables DTE Electric customers to attribute more of their energy use to the company’s wind and solar parks and is now one of the top three voluntary renewable energy programs in the country. Hollingsworth has enrolled three Metro Detroit locations in the program, totaling 4,000 megawatt hours annually. This has the environmental benefit equivalent to avoiding the greenhouse gas emissions from 616 passenger vehicles driven for one year.*

From complex order fulfillment strategies to detailed assembly and kitting operations, the company’s experience-backed supply chain solutions optimize the effectiveness, accuracy and cost of logistics to drive business for its customers. A key focus for Hollingsworth has been expanding its sustainability initiatives, including recycling hundreds of tons of materials each year. 

“As a supplier with 29 locations across the country and more than eight million square feet of warehouse and production space, we know that sustainability is imperative to our company’s success,” said Michael McNamara, president, Hollingsworth. “Taking steps to reduce our carbon footprint will minimize the harmful impacts that come with the modern supply chain and significantly benefit the environment. We’re proud to enroll in MIGreenPower and know that we’re helping create a cleaner future for all.” 

Hollingsworth joins more than 47,000 residential and 450 business MIGreenPower subscribers, including Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Bedrock Detroit and the University of Michigan. Through enrollment, customers are able to reduce their carbon footprint while accelerating the development of wind and solar projects in Michigan. To date, MIGreenPower customers have enrolled more than 1.8 million megawatt hours of clean energy in the program, which has the environmental benefit of taking more than 277,400 passenger cars off the road for a year.
