ESTERO, Fla., June 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Hertz Global
Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HTZ) today announced that its wholly owned
subsidiary, The Hertz Corporation, has been awarded a 2017
Corporate Responsibility (CR) Champion Award by the Council of
Corporate Responsibility in partnership with the National Diversity
Council. The award recognizes organizations that demonstrate
outstanding achievements and sustained commitment to the pursuit of
Corporate Responsibility in the workplace and
community.
As part of Hertz's commitment to corporate responsibility, the
company currently has seven LEED® (Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design™) green building program
certified locations throughout the U.S., including Hertz's world
headquarters in Estero, Florida,
which is LEED Gold® certified. Nearly 80 percent of the
company's vehicles in the U.S. have a minimum fuel-efficiency
rating of 28+ highway miles per gallon, and environmental
efficiency programs' efforts resulted in recycling over 2 million
gallons of used oil and auto waste in 2015. The Hertz corporate
responsibility program also includes mixed recycling at Hertz
rental locations, as well as tire recycling, which resulted in
nearly 300,000 tires diverted from landfills in 2015.
"We are honored to be recognized by the Council of Corporate
Responsibility for our dedication and actions toward being a good
corporate steward," said Kathryn V.
Marinello, Hertz president and chief executive officer.
"We're proud to continue our commitment to deliver smart mobility
and sustainability solutions at work, in the community and on the
road."
In addition to the CR Champion Award, Hertz's corporate
cafeteria, located at its world headquarters, was recently
re-certified by the Green Restaurant Association as a 4 Star
Certified Green Restaurant®. The cafeteria is the only 4
Star Certified Green Restaurant in Florida and one of only three 4-Star Certified
Green Restaurant corporate cafeterias in the world. With the steps
the company has taken to earn the certification, Hertz can save
242,548 gallons of water, divert more than 25,170 pounds of waste
and save 182,738 kWh of electricity each year.
Hertz also recently received two GreeningATL Excellence Awards
from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, taking top
honors in the categories of Waste Management and Product
Innovation. The annual GreeningATL awards were created to recognize
aerotropolis community members and organizations that have
demonstrated outstanding leadership by promoting and implementing
measures to advance sustainability, specifically through
environmentally based achievements.
