Happy Earth Day! 🌎
Sakata is proud to make the Earth a priority, not just today, but every day. We do this by committing daily to seven of the Sustainable Development Goals called upon by the United Nations in order to bring peace and prosperity to the people and the planet.
The National #EarthDay theme of 2026 is #OurPowerOurPlanet. Sakata is proud to support this theme through ongoing efforts. Since 2014, Sakata has installed solar panels to five different sites around the U.S., including our previous headquarters in Morgan Hill, CA and our most recent in Burlington, WA and Culiacan, Mexico.
So, how does solar energy benefit the planet?
🌎 Decreases greenhouse gas emissions – By replacing carbon-based fuel sources with solar power, we help reduce carbon emissions that drive climate change, which directly affects crop yields, weather patterns, and food security.
🌎 Reduces air pollutants linked to respiratory and cardiovascular health – Solar energy produces no air pollutants like nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, or particulate matter, leading to cleaner air that benefits farmworkers, surrounding communities, and natural ecosystems.
🌎 Reduces water use compared to traditional power generation – Unlike carbon-based energy sources, which require large amounts of water for cooling processes, solar energy uses little-to-no water in its operation, conserving this precious resource for irrigation, livestock, and human consumption.
