Electric use at our corporate headquarters campus in Worcester, Mass., which represents 86% of the electricity consumed by The Hanover-owned properties, is offset through the purchase of wind credits directly from our electricity provider. In 2018, purchased wind credits offset 100% of electricity use at our Worcester facility.
