Accepted into Green Tier Program Thanks to Environmental Efforts at its Oconomowoc Distribution Center The Oconomowoc Distribution Center was accepted into Wisconsin's Green Tier program in December 2006. The company took several steps to make the distribution center more environmentally friendly: *Installing lighting timers to conserve electric power consumption throughout the facility *Designing the building to optimize daylight in order to reduce lighting demands *Using sand only on all parking lots and drives during winter ice conditions to protect runoff water quality *Designing the fuel storage and distribution center to exceed federal requirements in case of any accidental spills *Installing landscaping that includes berms, trees and grasses that provide habitat for wildlife and screen the facility As part of its commitment to environmental improvement, Roundy's also installed diesel oxidation catalysts that will reduce diesel exhaust emissions on more than one-fourth of the company's Class 8 truck fleet. The company is also committed to recycling cardboard, plastics and pallets at the center. Finally, Roundy's continues to work with the DNR to evaluate whether certain technological and operational equipment, processes or devices present actual benefits to reducing mobile emissions and improved fuel economy.
