Speed School of Engineering at the University of Louisville, KPPC has the resources, expertise and experienced engineering and technical staff to help Kentucky’s businesses, industries and other organizations stay environmentally sustainable and competitive.

Collaboration
Fostering productive connections with partners and stakeholders is key to fulfilling and enhancing our impact. KPPC is actively involved in many industrial, local, state and federal network groups.
Why We Do It
Enhance our client’s success. Our client’s success is our success. Since our business is providing assistance services, our success is measured by how we enhance the environmental performance and economic competitiveness of our clients.
Promote healthy communities. Kentucky businesses and industries all contribute to the environmental challenges that we face, yet lack the time and technical expertise to address them. KPPC provides the resources and technical expertise to bridge the knowledge gap.
Fulfill our sponsor’s initiatives. State and federal sponsors seek to address environmental sustainability for the benefit of the people and communities they serve. KPPC is a vehicle for fulfilling those objectives in Kentucky.
Contribute to the business community. Partnering with other organizations internal to and external to the University, KPPC plays a key role in enhancing business to business interactions.
