SL Green Earns 2022 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence Award
May 17 2022 - 7:36AM
SL Green Realty Corp. (NYSE:SLG), Manhattan’s largest office
landlord, today announced that it has received a 2022 ENERGY STAR
Partner of the Year Sustained Excellence Award for the fifth
consecutive year. This award honors organizations across the United
States who have implemented distinguished corporate energy
management programs. Less than one percent of 18,000 U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) partners achieve the
Sustained Excellence distinction.
The U.S. Department of Energy and EPA awarded SL Green this
award, the highest level of EPA recognition, for its extensive
tenant outreach on energy efficiency, educational programs and
widespread promotion of ENERGY STAR tools and best practices. As a
continued leader in this space, SL Green achieved ENERGY STAR
labels for 11 buildings across its industry-leading portfolio in
2021, representing an impressive 12% of all ENERGY STAR labels in
Manhattan.
“SL Green is proud to receive recognition from ENERGY STAR and
the Environmental Protection Agency for our continued commitment to
lower the waste, energy, and water consumption of our portfolio.
Year after year, we aspire to implement world class sustainability
measures in all aspects of our business, in order to serve our
community, employees, and tenants. With the EPA ENERGY STAR
tracking program and the continued dedication of the SL Green ESG
team, we look forward to a steady increase in energy efficiency and
reduction of our carbon footprint,” said Edward V.
Piccinich, Chief Operating Officer, SL Green Realty
Corp.
“We know it’s going to take all of us working together to tackle
the climate crisis, and the 2022 ENERGY STAR award-winning partners
are demonstrating what it takes to build a more sustainable
future,” said EPA Administrator Michael S.
Regan. “These companies are showing once again that
taking action in support of a clean energy economy can be good not
only for the environment, but also for business and customers.”
The EPA presents the Sustained Excellence Award to organizations
that have already received ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year
recognition for a minimum of two consecutive years and have gone
above and beyond the criteria needed to qualify for
recognition.
SL Green prioritizes an unrelenting focus on environmental
stewardship to manage resource consumption while delivering
best-in-class spaces for 150,000 tenant employees, and will
continue to ensure its portfolio has a significant influence on the
low carbon future of New York City. The company’s robust
sustainability and ESG initiatives include the use of recycled
water, materials and overall sustainable development, building
operations meeting or exceeding LEED, ENERGY STAR and BOMA
standards, commitment to meeting ULI Greenprint’s Net Zero by 2050
goal and achieving carbon neutrality by adhering to 1.5°
Celsius-aligned Science-Based Targets, reducing building emissions
through green lease efforts with tenants and more. To read SL
