    • ENVIRONMENTAL CARE


      At Saks Incorporated, we understand that energy efficiency is not only good for the bottom line, but that it also helps to protect our environment. We know that even a small reduction in our consumption could prevent greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to taking 1,000 cars off the road.


      We partner with the EPA's ENERGY STAR Buildings and Green Lights Partnership to eliminate energy inefficiencies in our properties. Together, we have made significant investments in energy management systems with more efficient lighting and air conditioning upgrades at most of our properties. We’ve even participated in programs with local utilities to reduce our energy use during peak times to prevent blackouts.


      Saks Incorporated was one of the first retailers to adopt a higher efficiency halogen lamp which reduced energy consumption by 10% without reducing light output or lamp life. Now, we are moving to the latest generation of high-efficiency fluorescent lighting.


      We are taking steps to further optimize our energy usage, and will be testing new technologies that reduce the energy usage of our elevators and escalators. We are also exploring emerging technologies that may allow us to produce our own electricity and further reduce our energy consumptio

Rainforest Relief’s Tim Keating explained that the organization may decide to take action against Sears if it continues to sell outdoor furniture produced with wood products, such as Nyatoh, originating from endangered forest areas.
