Congratulations to Kohler Co. on their third Cool Choices employee engagement program! This program focused on Kohler Power Systems, Kohler’s division that manufactures generators and related products.
Kohler is an industry leader in kitchen and bathroom products, engines and generators, decorative products and hospitality services. Founded in 1873 and headquartered in Kohler, Wisconsin, the innovative company is a household name with more than 50 manufacturing locations on six continents, and more than 35,000 associates dedicated to providing a sense of gracious living to every corner of the world.
KOHLER’S PARTNERSHIP HISTORY WITH COOL CHOICES
Cool Choices first partnered with Kohler in 2017 for an employee engagement sustainability program at their corporate headquarters in Kohler, Wisconsin. Employees took part in a six-week sustainability engagement program where participants earned points for their sustainable practices at work and at home. After the success of Kohler’s first Cool Choices program, we partnered with the Wisconsin company for a second sustainability engagement program at two facilities in South Carolina and Arkansas. We then kicked off the recent program with Kohler Power Systems’ extensive distributor network in September.
Throughout fall 2018, over 200 Kohler and distributor associates participated in a six-week Cool Choices program. Associates earned points for their sustainable practices at work and home.
