Industry City demonstrates its commitment to sustainability through programs which aim
to:
• REDUCE our footprint through measures that decrease our energy and water
consumption.
• ADAPT existing buildings into vibrant and flexible workspaces that meet the
needs of the 21st century innovation economy.
• RECYCLE waste and materials, and encourage our maker and manufacturing
community to support a culture of upcycling that “closes the loop” by creatively
reusing discarded or surplus materials.
• PARTNER with the surrounding community to create good paying job opportunities in manufacturing.
• RECONNECT the property to the surrounding community, provide additional
alternative transportation options, and access to outdoor recreational
opportunities that engage the surrounding ecosystems, including greenways and
the Brooklyn waterfront.
• RESTORE the natural functions of our site to provide storm water management,
and improved air quality.
In April 2014, Industry City struck an agreement with Con Ed Solutions/Energy Spectrum to procure 100% Green power produced by wind for its Buildings 1-10.
