The GAINSystems Combined Emissions Offset and Community Center Energy Initiative is in its fourth year, having completed multiple solar arrays at community hosting locations in Chicago. Each site generates $6,000 annually in reduced energy costs and solar credits for the community. The first solar array funded and planned by GAINS was installed at the Wicker Park Community Center.
As GAINS grows, the company’s sustainability and social investments are accelerating through the following:
- GAINS increases its investment in solar arrays with every new subscribing customer. The datacenter energy consumed by each GAINS customer has been offset with installed solar arrays since 2018.
- For every new employee, GAINS provides lunch for another Haitian student through the Barco Nightingales Foundation. The company increased its global employee count by 44 percent in the last two years and has almost doubled its commitment.
