EPA ENERGY STAR® Energy Efficiency We have the power to make a significant impact with the right energy solutions. Better Buildings Challenge Achiever As a participant in the U.S. Department of Energy’s Better Building Challenge, we reached our goal of 20% energy reduction by 2020 two years early, achieving a total of 24% reduction based on a 2008 baseline at the end of 2018. We are one of only three retailers to become a Better Building Challenge Achiever. Our cooperating partnership with the EPA ENERGY STAR® program has remained consistent since 1998. We rely on the program for emerging tools and technical information, which helps us continually assess building performance. We were selected as a 2021 ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year winner for Sustained Excellence for the 10th consecutive year; an honor reserved for ENERGY STAR® partners demonstrating outstanding leadership year over year. As of 2021, 91% of our stores are ENERGY STAR® certified, including nine stores newly certified in the calendar year. Commercial buildings that have earned the ENERGY STAR® label use, on average, 35% less energy than similar buildings and generate one-third less carbon dioxide. Beyond the buildings themselves, ENERGY STAR®-rated equipment and appliances like refrigerators, copy machines, televisions and computers are used to help reduce energy consumption and affect our carbon footprint.
