Beam Global, (Nasdaq: BEEM, BEEMW), a leading provider of innovative and sustainable infrastructure solutions for the electrification of transportation and energy security, announced that Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Beam Global, has received the Global Sustainability Hero award from the Business Intelligence Group in the 2023 Sustainability Awards program. The Sustainability Awards honor those people, teams and organizations who have made sustainability an integral part of their business practice or overall mission.

Beam Global is dedicated to rapidly scaling renewably energized EV charging infrastructure to meet the growing demand brought on by widespread EV adoption. The EV ARC™ sustainable charging infrastructure solution challenges the status quo by enabling EVs to run purely on sunshine and charge without relying on fossil-fueled electric grids that are increasingly stressed and struggling to keep up with electricity demand.

“It’s an honor to be recognized by the Business Intelligence Group for the critical role Beam Global plays in accelerating the transition to clean mobility fueled by sustainable EV charging,” said Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Beam Global. “The Beam Team has grown the footprint of 100% renewably powered, off-grid EV charging nationwide with record triple digit percentage year over year growth in EV ARC system deployments in 2023. We remain committed to our mission to bring clean mobility to all.”

“We are proud to reward and recognize Desmond Wheatley and Beam Global for their sustainability efforts,” said Maria Jimenez, Chief Nominations Officer, Business Intelligence Group. “It was clear to our judges that their vision and strategy will continue to deliver results toward a cleaner, more sustainable world.
