EMIS at mge

Environmental Management Information System (EMIS), which is used to manage environmental data and processes supporting the monitoring, record-keeping and reporting associated with environmental management, marked its first full year of operation in 2020.  Benefits of the EMIS include access to environmental data to support remote audits and the central tracking of recycling data and waste disposal cost savings.

back on the road in 2022!

Madison Gas and Electric (MGE) will be completing its Adopt-a-Highway event this year during Earth Week. We are very excited about this year's event as it will be our first time out in three years due to the pandemic!

green masters program

In 2021, MGE earned the Green Master designation for the eighth consecutive year from the Wisconsin Sustainable Business Council. Only the top 20% of applying companies receive the Green Master designation. 
​

The independent, points-based benchmarking program evaluates applicants in nine key areas: energy, climate change, water, waste, transportation, supply chain, community outreach, workforce and governance. MGE was the first utility to be awarded the distinction in 2014.

reduce, reuse, recycle

Our all-in-one recycling method includes paper products, glass, plastic and aluminum. We also recycle various metals and other scrap materials left over from field work. Our computing equipment and supplies are sent to an e-Stewards certified company for recycling or reuse, and our alkaline batteries go to a vendor who recovers steel and zinc. 
​

A Continuous Improvement Sustainability Team recently updated our battery recycling program. The new policy allows employees to bring in alkaline, NiCad and rechargeable batteries from home. We established collection points around the company for safe, efficient drop-offs. 

We also recycle thermostats and other mercury-containing devices, chemicals, steel, iron, copper, glass and cell phones. Additionally, a local vendor takes our wood pallets, recycling them into mulch.
