The Award distinguishes SL Green as one of the
most sustainable developers in the nation
SL Green Realty Corp. (NYSE:SLG), Manhattan’s largest office
landlord, today announced that it has received a 2020 ENERGY STAR
Partner of the Year Sustained Excellence Award for the third
consecutive year. This award honors organizations that display
continued leadership in adopting innovative energy-management
practices. Less than 1% 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 for its extensive tenant outreach on energy efficiency,
educational programs, and widespread promotion of ENERGY STAR tools
and best practices. As a champion of the program, SL Green achieved
ENERGY STAR labels for over 15 million square feet of its portfolio
in 2019.
“The ENERGY STAR Sustained Excellence Award is a testament to
our continued commitment to lower the carbon footprint of our
portfolio, and validates our unparalleled dedication to build,
renovate, and finance a sustainable future for New York City. We
have a team of committed sustainability professionals who are
focused on raising the bar year after year,” said Edward V.
Piccinich, Chief Operating Officer.
“I salute the 2020 ENERGY STAR award winners,” said Anne
Idsal, EPA Principal Deputy Assistant Administrator for Air and
Radiation. “These leaders demonstrate how energy efficiency
drives economic competitiveness in tandem with environmental
protection.”
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 environmental stewardship and a socially
conscious ethos among its employees and partners, and will continue
to ensure its portfolio creates long-term value with a positive
impact to society.
