Ameriprise Financial (NYSE: AMP) today announced that the
Ameriprise Financial Center has received LEED�-EB (Leadership in
Energy and Environmental Design for Existing Buildings) silver
certification from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). It is
the first building in Minneapolis to receive this prestigious
designation. Fewer than 250 buildings in the world, and only four
others in Minnesota, are currently LEED-EB certified. The company�s
Client Service Center is also being considered for
certification.
�Ensuring that our buildings operate at maximum efficiency is
the right thing to do for our business and for the environment,�
said Kathy Stalwick, vice president of enterprise real estate at
Ameriprise Financial. �Pursuing LEED-EB certification underscores
our dedication to implementing continuous sustainability measures
and achieving minimal environmental impact from both of our
Minneapolis buildings.�
To achieve LEED-EB certification, Ameriprise Financial worked
with facility managers at CB Richard Ellis to perform a
comprehensive review of all building operations, with a focus on
energy reducing functions, environmental sustainability and green
cleaning practices.
The Ameriprise Financial Center, 707 Second Ave. South, and
Client Service Center, 901 Third Ave. South, also received the
Environmental Protection Agency�s ENERGY STAR award in 2007 and
2008. The buildings opened in 2000 and 2002 respectively, and are
two of the city�s largest office towers with nearly 2 million
square feet of combined office space. More than 5,000 Ameriprise
Financial employees currently work in the buildings.
