Old Man Winter may be covering the Midwest with snow and record-low temperatures, but two of our facilities aren’t covering landfills with any waste.
Our distribution centers in Chicago and Hudson, Wis., are the latest facilities to achieve landfill-free status, meaning all daily waste is reused, recycled or converted to energy.

It’s rare that an organization like NASA is mentioned along with General Motors, so please allow us this moment to talk about both in the same sentence.
To get on the proper path toward Gold certification by the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED program, members of GM’s data center team looked to governmental and IT organizations with state-of-the-art command centers – like HP, IBM and NASA — to identify best practices in greater efficiency that would help them in its data center redesign.
General Motors has met the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star Challenge for Industry by reducing energy intensity by an average of 23 percent at 31 plants – 22 of which are repeat achievers. Collectively they avoided more than 374,000 metric tons of greenhouse gases – the equivalent of electricity use by 56,049 homes in the United States annually.
Here at General Motors, our road to electrification offers many different paths, and each can be taken in a fun-to-drive car that uses less petroleum.
Recognizing the different needs of customers in their daily commutes, access to recharging stations and passenger and cargo space, to name a few, we are developing a portfolio of vehicles that is as diverse as our customers. And they’re all designed and engineered with a simple focus: cutting down the use of petroleum.
