EPA honors Sears Holdings with Energy Star award

Over the last 20 years, with help from ENERGY STAR, American families and businesses have saved more than $230 billion on utility bills and prevented more than 1.8 billion metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions.

"The ENERGY STAR Sustained Excellence Award is a validation that we are focused on the right things — our Members and customers, and making their lives better," said Ron Boire , Executive Vice President, Chief Marketing Officer and President of Sears Full Line Stores and Kmart Formats. "One of our greatest priorities is to provide our shoppers with meaningful savings. ENERGY STAR products, particularly appliances, deliver financial benefits over a product's lifetime. We are very proud to be recognized for our longstanding commitment to supporting and promoting ENERGY STAR. We will continue the tradition of celebrating our associates', our Members and customers' conservation efforts."

Sears' commitment to ENERGY STAR qualified products provides its SHOP YOUR WAY Members with the most rewarding and cost-effective solutions that they can purchase across all integrated retail channels: store, online, phone and home.  Furthermore, Sears is actively pursuing strategic partnerships with other prominent ENERGY STAR partners to offer exclusive product promotions for its SHOP YOUR WAY Members.

The 2013 Partner of the Year - Sustained Excellence Awards are given to a select group of organizations that have exhibited outstanding leadership year after year. These winners have reduced greenhouse gas emissions by setting and achieving aggressive goals, and employing innovative energy efficiency approaches. These awards recognize ongoing leadership across the ENERGY STAR program, including energy-efficient products, services, new homes, and buildings in the commercial, industrial, and public sectors. Award winners are selected from the nearly 20,000 organizations that participate in the ENERGY STAR program.
