Kia North Danvers Celebrates Its First Anniversary with Sustainable Initiatives

Kia North Danvers Celebrates One-Year Anniversary with a Sustainable Commitment

Kia North Danvers, part of the ICL Family of dealerships, is excited to commemorate its one-year anniversary in the vibrant North Shore community. Since opening its doors, the dealership has quickly established itself as a trusted provider of quality Kia vehicles and exceptional service. To mark this milestone, Kia North Danvers is taking significant strides towards ecological responsibility, including the installation of solar panels as part of its commitment to sustainability.

General Manager Bryan Laskin expressed delight at the warm reception the dealership has received, stating, "We are thrilled to mark our first year in Danvers. This amazing community has welcomed us with open arms, and we're excited to give back—not just through great service, but by investing in a greener future." This emphasis on sustainability aligns perfectly with Kia’s broader vision of leading the automotive industry in environmentally friendly practices, particularly in electric and hybrid vehicle innovation.

The highlight of Kia North Danvers' anniversary celebration is the completion of a substantial solar energy installation. This initiative is a collaborative effort with Aarjay Ventures and KW Management, among others, showcasing a partnership focused on advancing clean energy initiatives. Over 200 high-efficiency solar panels have been installed, enabling the dealership to harness approximately 136,000 kWh of renewable energy annually, enough to power around 12 to 13 average American homes.

Such an installation is expected to cover around 57% of the dealership's total annual energy consumption, dramatically reducing its carbon footprint and enhancing energy resilience. Damon Jespersen, Chairman of International Cars, Ltd. Board of Directors, noted, "Our solar panels underscore ICL's forward-thinking approach as we strive to positively impact the communities where we do business." This commitment not only benefits the dealership but also inspires the local community to consider sustainable practices within their own lives.

Kia North Danvers is proud to emphasize that sustainability is not just a buzzword; it’s part of its foundational business model aimed at improving quality of life for employees, customers, and partners. The dealership recognizes that embracing clean energy aligns with a growing societal trend towards environmental accountability. As Jespersen optimistically stated, "It is our hope that our commitment to environmental responsibility will serve as a model and inspiration to others as we work towards a cleaner and safer world for everyone."

Through initiatives like this, Kia North Danvers is setting a precedent in the automotive realm. By investing in renewable energy technologies, the dealership not only contributes to a greener grid but also reduces operational costs and enhances its long-term sustainability goals.

As the dealership looks forward to another year, it remains steadfast in its commitment to the community while promoting eco-friendly practices. Located conveniently on Route 1 North, Kia North Danvers continues to provide an exceptional lineup of new and pre-owned vehicles along with expert service—all rooted in a customer-first approach.

Founded on the principles of employee ownership, International Cars, Ltd. manages several New England dealerships and emphasizes accountability, customer satisfaction, and community engagement. It has garnered numerous awards for excellence, further solidifying its status as a leader in the automotive industry.

Kia North Danvers invites local residents to celebrate its anniversary and witness firsthand how innovative practices and a focus on clean energy can shape a more sustainable future. The dealership’s ongoing efforts underscore a vital message: that business can indeed operate with a mindful consideration for the planet, setting a path that others in the industry can follow.
