JCPenney Receives 2010 ENERGY STAR Sustained Excellence Award
March 19, 2010
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded Plano, Texas-based J.C. Penney Co. Inc. with a 2010 ENERGY STAR Sustained Excellence Award in recognition of its continued leadership in protecting environmental resources through energy efficiency. This is the company’s second time to win the prestigious Sustained Excellence Award since receiving the ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year awards in 2007 and 2008. JCPenney’s accomplishments were recognized at an awards ceremony in Washington, D.C., on March 18. JCPenney is credited with being the first national retailer to achieve Sustained Excellence for its comprehensive “hands-on” approach to energy management. Last year, the company invested more than $10 million to install advanced meter technology, lighting retrofits and high-efficiency HVAC systems in stores across the country, with nine locations utilizing solar power. In addition, JCPenney has adopted an enterprise-wide culture of energy stewardship that encourages every associate to seek innovative ways to save energy. Currently, 96 JCPenney stores and the JCPenney Home Office in Plano have qualified for the ENERGY STAR Building Label. The company expects to expand the number of ENERGY STAR certifications to 200 stores by the end of 2010.
