“We are extremely pleased about our new relationship with Canadian Solar,” said Michael J. Tusiani, Yankees senior vice president of corporate sales & sponsorships. “We hope its in-Stadium signage will strengthen the importance of environment attentiveness, which is a significant platform for our organization.”
The two-year-old Yankee Stadium places a large focus on environmental activities, including the Yankees Sustainability Facility Program, which ensures the efficiency of all equipment while focusing on energy reduction.
During the 2010 baseball season, waste management, composting and recycling helped divert more than 35% of Yankee Stadium’s waste away from landfills. Approximately 9,000 gallons of cooking oil used in the Stadium last year was converted into around 7,000 gallons of biodiesel fuel.
