Planting Roots for a Greener Future: PSCO Sign Group Partners with Evertreen
Our commitment to innovation extends beyond crafting exceptional signage solutions. We believe in building a better future, and that’s why we’re thrilled to announce an exciting new partnership with Evertreen, a global platform dedicated to reforestation and ecosystem support.
This collaboration marks a significant step forward in our ongoing Environmental Initiative, reinforcing our deep-rooted commitment to environmental stewardship and the well-being of our communities.
“Inspired by Earth Day, we sought an additional way to amplify our sustainability efforts,” says Bob Mehmet, President and CEO of PSCO. “Our collaboration with Evertreen demonstrates our commitment to environmental responsibility and exploring creative avenues to make a positive difference beyond our manufacturing processes.”
Growing a Greener Tomorrow, One Tree at a Time
Recognizing that trees are essential to healthy communities and a healthy planet, we’ve joined forces with Evertreen to actively plant trees and improve communities across the globe through vital reforestation efforts. What makes Evertreen so impactful is its transparent platform. It allows us to plant real trees through their online platform and then track their growth journey through tangible updates like photos, videos, and even satellite imagery. This level of accountability ensures our efforts are making a real difference. .
As a tangible first step in this exciting partnership, PSCO Sign Group proudly planted 1,000 trees in April 2025 through the Evertreen platform. This initiative directly reflects our core environmental commitments:
- Supporting Environmental Restoration: Our contribution directly supports vital reforestation projects, playing a crucial role in fostering healthier ecosystems and promoting biodiversity around the globe.
- Empowering Global Communities: We deeply value Evertreen’s dedication to engaging local farmers in the tree planting process. This creates valuable economic opportunities and supports sustainable agricultural practices within these communities.
Powering Progress with Sunshine: Our Commitment to Green Manufacturing
Our partnership with Evertreen is the latest chapter in our long-standing commitment to environmentally responsible practices. The cornerstone of our green initiative is our state-of-the-art solar energy installation in Pennsauken. We proudly stand as the first sign manufacturer in New Jersey and the nation to power our manufacturing facilities and fabricate signs using clean, renewable solar energy. This forward-thinking approach naturally complements sustainable practices and green building efforts within our industry.
Back in 2010, PSCO Sign Group led the way by converting our Pennsauken production facility to solar power. Today, every single sign that leaves our facility is created using clean, renewable solar energy.
The environmental benefits of our impressive 910-kilowatt solar installation are significant:
- Generating a remarkable 1.1 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually – enough to power approximately 900 homes.
- Offsetting carbon pollution equivalent to the absorption capacity of a staggering 4,700 acres of trees each year.
- Reducing carbon emissions equivalent to taking 6,400 cars off the road each year.
- Contributing excess clean energy back to the grid, resulting in cost savings and a smaller overall energy footprint.
This powerful partnership with Evertreen, combined with our groundbreaking solar-powered manufacturing, underscores PSCO Sign Group’s ongoing dedication to cultivating a more sustainable future for our industry and the planet.
