Working for A Better Tomorrow

Sustainability
That's why we strive to be more environmental in everything we do.  Here's a quick look at some of the ways were keeping our operations greener
We've invested $9 million in solar power so far.
Stores with Solar
By the end of 2023, we're expecting a 233% increase in solar capacity
This increase is estimated to offset nearly 2,447 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year.
2,447 metric tons of carbon dioxide is equivalent to the car emissions from 275,320 gallons of gasoline.
LED lights can last up to 50,000 hours. That's enough for nearly six years of continuous use!
LED lights are made of non-toxic materials and contain no mercury.
By the end of 2023, P.C. Richard & Son will double our stores' LED efficiency.
Every recycled item matters! Whether it's office materials or our customer's old appliances, we know every recycled item mattters.

How Styrofoam is recycled and Why Does it Matter?

We’re doing our part for the environment by recycling Styrofoam
