Target hits the green bull’s-eye by installing energy-efficiency initiatives in lighting, refrigeration and HVAC. According to their website, 100 of their stores are currently Energy Star-certified and are working to certify the majority of new and remodeled stores with the Energy Star label. Target has achieved this certification by outfitting the refrigerated cases with LED lights and motion sensors that are designed to illuminate only when a guest walks by (that’s me!). Target is also using low-wattage light fixtures on the sales floor that can reduce a store’s energy cost by about 10%. The energy & climate page of Target’s website also boasts “new light fixtures save more than 110 million kilowatts”. Another initiative that warrants Energy Star-certification is the installation of white roof membranes that reflect sunlight to lower cooling needs and LED lights in exterior signs.
When browsing the web to read up on the matter I came across many other stores that are also hitting the green bull’s-eye: Wal-Mart, Publix, Kroger, Hannaford Supermarket, Whole Foods Market and plenty of others. If you are interested in greening your company, from electrical/light bulbs to cleaning/janitorial supplies, a great first step is a Procurement Sourcing Provider (PSP) – Source One Management Services can help you move toward the green bull’s-eye!
