Sustainability
Sustainable Practices in Energy Engineering

At ASK Energy, Inc., we are thrilled to announce the launch of our first sustainability initiative. As a small, woman- and minority-owned business operating in Oregon, Florida, and California, we are deeply committed to making a positive impact on the environment and our communities. Since our founding in 2017, we’ve been focused on innovation and excellence, and now we are taking a bold step toward a greener future.

Our sustainability initiative emphasizes several planned strategies to reduce our environmental footprint and promote sustainable practices both within our company and beyond.


These include:
  • Conducting regular energy assessments
  • Replacing all lighting with energy-efficient LED bulbs
  • Embracing green energy for remote operations
  • Implementing comprehensive recycling programs
  • Transitioning to a paperless business
  • Promoting water conservation efforts
  • Encouraging sustainable transportation options, such as public transport, carpooling, and the adoption of electric vehicles

Employee engagement is at the heart of our initiative. We are fostering a culture of sustainability through regular workshops, training sessions, and the creation of green team leads who will spearhead innovative sustainability projects.

Our ambitious goals include reducing total energy consumption by 5% annually and cutting our carbon footprint by 5% each year. Together, we can create a significant, lasting impact. We invite you to join us on this journey toward a greener, healthier planet.
