Bloom Box Energy & Staples Inc.

From offering customers innovative environmental products and services to implementing energy
conservation, waste reduction, recycling, and green building initiatives in the company’s internal
operations, Staples is focused on positive change that truly makes a difference in the world. The
company has pledged to reduce its absolute carbon emissions by 7% by 2010 and has evaluated
many alternative energy sources. In addition to early solar projects that remain in the Staples
portfolio, Staples sought a reliable solution that could operate around the clock and significantly
reduce carbon emissions. Staples’ first 300kW installation is located at their Ontario, CA
distribution center and the company believes Bloom Energy Servers can provide significant
power for their large facilities and distribution centers in the future.
“Staples’ partnership with Bloom marks an exciting next step in our ongoing commitment to
environmental leadership,” said Mark Buckley, vice president of environmental affairs for Staples.
“Through our relationship with energy leaders like Bloom, Staples is not only able to reduce our
operating costs but we are reducing our environmental footprint in the local communities in which
we operate.”

Google is committed to being a responsible global citizen and takes its use of energy very
seriously. To reduce the environmental impact of Google’s operations, the company generates

was Bloom Energy’s first customer in July 2008, was attracted to the solution because of its fuel
flexibility, easy deployment and payback period. Google’s 400kW installation powers a building
on Google’s main campus, a facility that includes an experimental data center.
"As we work hard to reduce Google's environmental footprint and improve our sustainability,
we're pleased to be able to use on-site clean power generated by Bloom Energy," said Rick

Bloom Box Energy & eBay Inc.

eBay Inc. connects hundreds of millions of consumers through businesses that empower people
to do more with less, from promoting the re-use of products that already exist through eBay
marketplaces to paying without a paper check through PayPal. eBay is committed to extending
this positive impact through vibrant sustainable commerce and community experiences, including
the eBay Green Team. As part of this commitment, eBay set an ambitious carbon reduction goal
of 15% by 2012 over a 2008 baseline as part of an overall strategy to run their business in ways
that have less impact on the planet. A commitment to investing in renewable sources of energy is
core to meeting this goal and the company has installed two solar arrays, including San Jose’s
largest commercial installation to date. In 2009, in an effort to diversify its portfolio, eBay
collaborated with Bloom to pioneer a first-of-its-kind installation that, as of spring 2010, will be
powered by 100% renewable biogas. The 500kW system sits outside eBayʼs LEED gold certified
“Mint” building in North San Jose.
“eBay believes in the power of our business model to make a real difference in the world, and that
includes how we embrace innovation to reduce our carbon footprint. When Bloom came to us, it
was an easy decision to become an early-adopter of their cutting-edge new technology. As a
result, we’re meeting financial and environmental goals with the project while fueling a more
energy efficient global marketplace. That’s good for us, our customers and the planet,” said John
Donahoe, eBay CEO.
