Sustainability

Fox Valley and its owner, Centennial, have been responsible stewards of the environment in the Aurora area. We are committed to providing customers, business owners and employees with an exceptional experience, while incorporating environmentally sustainable operating practices and energy-efficiency measures at our property. Ways Fox Valley has safeguarded the environment over the past year include:

• Recycling 149 tons of cardboard; the equivalent of saving 2,526 mature trees, conserving 57,726 kilowatt hours of energy, saving 38,484 gallons of oil, and reducing 1,188 lbs. of greenhouse gas emissions.

• Diverting 21% of waste generated by the shopping center from landfills, saving 4,952 yd3  of landfill space.

• Decreasing the center’s annual electrical consumption year-over-year in 2022 by 1.4%.

• Providing 90,193 clean driving miles, saving 47,796 pounds of CO2, and offsetting 2,108 gallons of gasoline; equivalent to 310 trees planted through complimentary electric vehicle (EV) charging amenities.

The public can learn more about Fox Valley’s sustainability efforts through its SEE Centennial initiative, a program built on the three cornerstones of Sustainability, Efficiency and the Environment. At Fox Valley, environmental stewardship is an important part of creating a sustainable future and another way the center supports its commitment to the community of Aurora on Earth Day and every day in between.
