Bobcat is passionate about sustainability and protecting the environment.
In its North Dakota offices and facilities, Bobcat uses energy-efficient electrochemical power generator fuel cells for on-site power and heat, taking advantage of the state’s abundant natural gas. These clean fuel cells are combustion-free which also increases safety at our facilities. Fuel cells support our energy needs while reducing demand on the grid.
Bobcat facilities use energy-efficient LED lighting. Since we made this change, our energy usage has decreased by more than 850,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) each year. LED lights are bright but also have a much longer rated lifetime at 10,000 hours versus 20,000 on metal halides—which decreases waste.
Bobcat recently partnered with the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), awarding grants to support park restoration. Bobcat dealers, employees and local volunteers are helping to facilitate this restoration—from planting native plants to moving dirt to supplying equipment. This initiative is building stronger community bonds and engaging people outdoors.
Doosan Bobcat Community Days (DBCD) are another way we give back and enrich our community. Through DBCD, Bobcat volunteers collaborate with nonprofits focused on environmental preservation and general community needs. These volunteers assist with all kinds of projects, from fortifying hiking trails to mending fences at a local zoo.
As part of our sustainability and transparency efforts, we introduced a companywide Environmental and Social Governance (ESG) governance structure to establish guidelines for responsible management at all levels of the company.
