At Keep Indianapolis Beautiful (KIB), our mission has always been rooted in helping people and nature thrive and now, that mission is getting a little sunnier.

We’re proud to announce a new partnership with Veregy, an award-winning, NAESCO-accredited Energy Services Company, to install solar panels at KIB headquarters. This project marks a major milestone in KIB’s sustainability journey, advancing our commitment to environmental stewardship not just through trees and cleanups, but through the very energy that powers our work.

By harnessing renewable energy, KIB is taking an important step toward reducing our carbon footprint and modeling the kind of sustainable practices we encourage across Indianapolis. The installation will offset a significant portion of KIB’s energy use, improve operational efficiency, and further align our facilities with our environmental values.

“Our comprehensive approach combines smart building technology, renewable energy solutions, and infrastructure optimization to deliver customized decarbonization strategies that provide measurable ROI from day one,” said Makoy Forman-Howard, Project Manager at Veregy. “We’re proud to help organizations like KIB integrate sustainable technology that directly supports their mission.”

Veregy’s expertise spans energy-efficient building upgrades, solar and geothermal installations, and sustainable infrastructure, all backed by industry-leading monitoring and support. For KIB, this means not just a more efficient headquarters, but a long-term investment in the health and resilience of our community.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Veregy on a project that embodies both environmental and social impact,” added Mark Adler, Senior Vice President of Operations at Keep Indianapolis Beautiful. “Together, we’re demonstrating how clean energy can empower organizations to achieve their sustainability goals while creating a measurable difference for the communities they serve.”

This partnership reinforces KIB’s belief that every action, from planting trees to installing solar panels, contributes to a stronger, cleaner, and more sustainable Indianapolis. With Veregy’s support, we’re not only reducing our energy use but also inspiring others to take meaningful steps toward a brighter, greener future.
