Partner Profile Hailo LLC is a Long Island-based manufacturer of aluminum ladders, service lifts, and fall arrest systems for the wind energy industry. As part of its other environmental initiatives, Hailo purchases renewable energy certificates equal to 100 percent of its annual electricity use. "We are a 'green' company in the broadest sense," says Oliver Hirschfelder, Hailo LLC's CEO, "not only with respect to the wind power market niche we serve, but in environmentally friendly company policies such as recycling and an emphasis on energy conservation in our own manufacturing processes." The company became interested in purchasing green power as a way to support the development of the wind energy industry and as a way to give back to the environment. Hailo hopes that its purchase will educate members of the community on the benefits of renewable energy and the availability of companies that provide it. Hailo finds that the greatest benefit of purchasing green power has been the recognition it has received from organizations like the EPA. Receiving public recognition of its commitment to renewable energy has aided Hailo in its networking process with business contacts and potential customers.
