Partner Profile Chaco, Inc., an independent footwear company based in Western Colorado, is known for its line of comfortable and functional sandals and shoes. Chaco has maintained a strong commitment to the environment since its founding in 1989. As part of that commitment, the company purchases over 500,000 kilowatt-hours of wind-generated renewable energy certificates, equal to 100 percent of the electricity used in all facilities owned by Chaco. The company's commitment inspires employees to purchase green energy at home and is appreciated by Chaco's customers. Chaco recommends that other organizations interested in green power should ensure that their offsets are certified, compare providers, and consider options close to their home base.
