☀️A great day celebrating sustainability and community impact at the Village of Arlington Heights Public Works Facility Solarbration! ☀️

We were proud to join local leaders, partners, and community members to officially recognize the Village’s new rooftop solar installation and its long-term investment in clean energy and operational savings.

Remarks were shared by Jim Tinaglia, Mayor; Randy Recklaus, Village Manager; Cris Papierniak, Director of Public Works & Engineering; and Chris Gersch, CEO of Verde Solutions.

The new solar system includes 861 solar panels and is estimated to produce more than 17 million kWh of clean energy over its 30-year lifespan while avoiding over 11,700 metric tons of CO2 emissions. That environmental impact is equivalent to:

🏡 Powering 2,456 homes for one year
🚘 Removing 2,752 passenger vehicles from the road for one year

A special thank you to the Village of Arlington Heights for leading by example, to Title Electric Company for their installation partnership, Sweet T's Bakery for their "sunny" cupcakes, and to everyone who helped bring this project to life. Together, we continue building stronger and more sustainable communities.

Altimus Capital recently hosted its Women’s Appreciation event, treating an incredible group of women from across the family of companies to a well-deserved spa day to relax, reflect, and recharge.

Leader Chris Gersch stopped by to kick off the event, sharing his appreciation for the talent, dedication, and impact these women bring to the organization every day. He emphasized how fortunate the company is to have such a strong group of professionals, truly among the best in the industry.

The event also recognized the contributions that go beyond day-to-day work, including the time and energy spent supporting team initiatives and giving back to the communities Altimus serves.

It was a meaningful opportunity to step away, connect, and celebrate the people who play such a vital role in driving the continued success of the Altimus Capital family of companies.

✨ Proud to support an evening that brings sustainability, community, and real impact together across Chicago ✨

As the presenting sponsor, Verde Solutions was honored to be part of Digs With Dignity’s Earth Day Celebration, an inspiring event centered on how thoughtful, sustainable action can transform lives. From diverting thousands of pounds of furniture from landfills to creating fully realized homes for families transitioning out of homelessness, this work is about people, planet, and possibility. 🌍

A powerful message was shared by featured speaker AJ Patton, Founder & CEO of 548 Enterprise, highlighting how climate, equity, and community investment intersect in meaningful ways within our neighborhoods.

Great to see members of Verde Solutions and the Altimus Capital LLC family of companies in attendance, alongside our CEO Chris Gersch, who proudly serves on the Board of Directors.

Thank you to Digs With Dignity for leading by example—showing how repurposing furniture and home goods can create beautiful, dignified spaces while reducing environmental impact. This mission closely aligns with Verde’s commitment to building more sustainable communities through clean energy, resource efficiency, and long-term thinking.

Together, we’re proving that sustainability is more than a goal—it’s action that makes a difference. 🌱

💫 There are moments that remind us what real impact looks like—and this is one of them.

For the third year in a row, team members across Altimus Capital and our family of companies came together for a meaningful day of service with Digs With Dignity. As part of “Digs Day,” volunteers transform an empty space into a fully furnished, thoughtfully designed home in just six hours, all built around the story, needs, and future of the family.

From unpacking and cleaning to installing every final detail, it’s a powerful example of what can happen when people come together with purpose. The result is more than a finished space. It’s a place of comfort, stability, and hope.

We’re especially proud to support this mission with our own Chris Gersch serving on the Board of Directors, and to continue showing up year after year to make a difference.

🤍 A special thank you to Kimberly Hannay, Executive Director of Digs With Dignity, and the family for allowing us to be part of such a meaningful moment—the final reveal says it all.

It’s a long-term investment in the community. It’s proof of what’s possible when cities, partners, and organizations come together with a shared vision. And it’s a step toward not just reducing costs, but building a cleaner, more resilient future for everyone who lives, works, and gathers here.

🏫 It’s always rewarding to see leaders give back where it all started.

Proud to share that our very own Chris Gersch was invited back to Township High School District 214 for the second year in a row as the keynote speaker at the Finance & Investing Competition.

Chris spent time with students sharing his journey - from trading on the floor at the Chicago Board of Trade to leading multiple sustainable energy businesses today. He spoke candidly about the lessons learned along the way, the moments that shaped him, and what it truly takes to build a meaningful career. Students also had the opportunity to interview him and gain real-world insight into the path ahead.

A big thank you to Dr. Laz Lopez and Robert Murphy for continuing to create opportunities like this, and for bringing Chris back to his roots.

Always inspiring to see the next generation of students diving into finance and investing. The future is bright. ☀️
