Solberg manufactures standard and custom filtration, separation, & silencing products that protect machinery, the surrounding environment, and the workplace. Their worldwide company embraces growth and innovation while advocating and promoting sustainable responsibility. Solberg has taken the Triple Bottom Line philosophy and augmented it with their own ÒP7 TreeÓ Initiative: people, planet, power, product, philanthropy, protect, and profit. It is safe to say all of the actions which Solberg does, will fall into one of these categories. The benefit of expanding people, planet and profit to seven is that there are more topics for which to relate to helping others grasp their sustainable passion. They are proud partners with DOE Better Buildings Better Plants, which is a voluntary goal to reduce their energy intensity by 25% over ten years. Their baseline year is 2008. This strategy is very helpful because they are proactively investigating ways to reduce their environmental footprint fundamentally helping labor efficiency, health and safety.
