Shiloh Industries, an environmentally focused global supplier of lightweighting, noise and vibration solutions, has joined DTE Energy’s MIGreenPower program, committing to power three facilities with 100% Michigan-made clean energy. The move will offset the equivalent of nearly 4,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
Through DTE’s MIGreenPower, Shiloh will provide clean energy for its Plymouth Technical Center and stamping plants in Roseville and Warren. DTE’s MIGreenPower is a voluntary clean energy program that enables customers to source their power from clean energy projects without owning and maintaining additional exterior equipment.
“Shiloh is proud to embrace DTE’s MIGreenPower program, taking an important step toward achieving our goal of carbon neutrality,” said Ramzi Hermiz, president and CEO of Shiloh. “The program complements our sustainability initiatives, including our global network of landfill-free facilities and our portfolio of 100% recyclable products.”
The company joins other well-known institutions including Ford Motor Co., General Motors, The Detroit Zoo and the University of Michigan who are using DTE’s MIGreenPower program to meet their sustainability targets.
As a lightweighting company, Shiloh helps OEMs reduce on-vehicle weight. Reducing weight improves fuel economy for internal combustion engine vehicles or extends the battery life on electric vehicles, all while reducing CO2 emissions.
“Our emphasis on lightweighting and sustainability affects everything from product design, raw material consumption, manufacturing operations and transportation to product-end-use,” Hermiz said. “We will continue to lead with a sustainability strategy by engineering new ways to reduce our and our customer’s carbon footprint.”
