As the world continues to embrace sustainable practices, Intelligent Blends is committed to leading the charge in environmental responsibility. One significant step we've taken towards reducing our carbon footprint is the integration of solar panels into our operations.

Over the few past years, we've increased the capacity of our solar panel array to harness more clean energy from the sun. By maximizing solar power generation, we're reducing our reliance on traditional energy sources and minimizing our environmental impact. We've recently started the installation of a new 280kW solar system for cleaner renewable energy manufacturing. This comes on the heels of the successful deployment of a 284kW solar system in 2020, showcasing the company’s dedication to environmental responsibility and its pursuit of carbon neutrality.

“We believe that good coffee starts at the source, which is why we make sure that every step we take in manufacturing Maud’s products is thoughtful, ethical and environmentally responsible,” says CEO and Founder Michael Ishayik. “The addition of solar-power to our production facility was a logical next step in ensuring that we continue our legacy of producing great products for our customers and partners the right way.”

Looking ahead, we remain committed to advancing our sustainability goals and expanding our renewable energy initiatives. Our future plans include further increasing solar capacity, exploring energy storage solutions, and integrating additional sustainable practices into our operations. By continuously innovating and prioritizing sustainability, we aim to set new standards for environmental responsibility in the coffee industry.

With aspirations of being completely carbon neutral by 2025, we will continue to harness innovation, emerging technologies and good old-fashioned sunshine to create high-quality, Earth-friendly products for Earth-minded partners and customers around the globe. This reduction in carbon footprint demonstrates our dedication to environmental stewardship and sustainability leadership within the coffee industry.

At our coffee company, sustainability isn't just a buzzword – it's a core value that guides everything we do. Our ongoing investment in solar panel technology underscores our dedication to reducing our environmental footprint and building a more sustainable future. By harnessing the power of the sun, we're not only brewing exceptional coffee but also helping to create a cleaner, brighter world for generations to come. Join us on this journey towards a more sustainable tomorrow.
