Millipore Accepts Governor Patrick’s Clean Energy Challenge

On November 21, 2008, Governor Deval Patrick issued a challenge to businesses to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 10 percent over the next three years, and Millipore has already accepted that challenge.

The Governor’s Clean Energy Challenge is an initiative developed by the New England Clean Energy Council and the Massachusetts High Technology Council in cooperation with the state’s electric and natural gas utilities. The Governor will offer recognition to participants who meet or exceed the 10 percent reduction target.

“I offer the Challenge to everyone to do their part to dramatically reduce their own greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency measures, innovative energy technology products, and the use of renewable sources,” said Governor Patrick, who announced the Challenge at the New England Clean Energy Council 1st Annual Green Tie Gala in Boston on November 20.

Millipore and Pfizer are the first two companies that have accepted the Governor’s Challenge. The Challenge is a voluntary program, designed to inspire action by businesses, municipalities, and residents to reduce their energy consumption, put renewable energy to work, and combat global climate change.

“Millipore is pleased to take the Governor up on his challenge of reducing greenhouse emissions because it is important to our company and the environment,” said Millipore President & CEO Martin Madaus. “We appreciate the Governor’s leadership in positioning Massachusetts and its employers ahead of the curve when it comes to the adoption of clean energy technologies and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. This is a critical program for the Commonwealth’s environmental and economic health, but also for the quality of life of its 6 million residents.”
