Working green

Materials and methods considered for the long term.

Responsibility in practice

Better decisions begin before fabrication.

When approaching our facility from the south, you will notice that we have installed a 75.6 kilowatt solar electric system on the south facing roofs of our facility. Akira is producing approximately 130,000 kilowatt hours of clean electrical energy annually. Akira is FSC® Chain-of-Custody (CoC) certified (FSC-CO11627). We understand the importance of minimizing our impact and using sustainable and non-toxic materials and are continually striving to find better, safer and greener ways to do business. Ask us about our FSC availability.

Durable construction, thoughtful detailing and repairable assemblies also matter. Work built to perform for decades avoids the material and operational cost of premature replacement.
