SL Green recognized as one of the most
sustainable organizations in the nation for the fourth consecutive
year
SL Green Realty Corp. (NYSE:SLG), Manhattan’s largest office
landlord, today announced that it has received a 2021 ENERGY STAR
Partner of the Year Sustained Excellence Award for the fourth
consecutive year. This award honors organizations across the United
States that have implemented distinguished corporate energy
management programs. Less than one percent of 16,000 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 over 14 buildings covering 10.6 million square feet
across its industry-leading portfolio in 2020.
“SL Green is dedicated to implementing the highest efficiency
standards across our portfolio, not only for the benefit of our
tenants but for the future sustainability of New York City. The
ENERGY STAR Sustained Excellence Award is a testament to our
conscious effort to reduce our carbon footprint and the unwavering
commitment of SL Green’s ESG team to surpass our sustainability
goals each year,” said Edward V. Piccinich, Chief Operating
Officer, SL Green Realty Corp.
“ENERGY STAR award-winning partners are showing the world that
delivering real climate solutions makes good business sense and
promotes job growth,” said EPA Administrator Michael S.
Regan. “Many of them have been doing it for years, inspiring
all of us who are committed to tackling the climate crisis and
leading the way to a clean energy economy.”
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, reducing building
emissions through green lease efforts with tenants and more. To
