Kohl’s tally of Energy Star-labeled stores now stands at 219, the retailer’s design prototype for stores has been awarded initial LEED Silver certification and three other stores in the chain have attained LEED ratings.
The recognition of Kohl’s green building efforts followed news last week that the company is among the top three purchasers of renewable energy in the U.S., according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Green Power Partnership program.
Before the week closed, the company was pointing to further acknowledgment from the EPA, this time from the agency’s Energy Star program, which singles out commercial buildings and industrial plants in the U.S. with energy efficiency ratings that reach the top 25 percent.
