Coldwater Creek is offsetting all of its electricity consumption for its headquarters, distribution and customer contact centers and growing base of retail stores with wind power. The company is purchasing 45 million kilowatt- hours of renewable energy certificates from 3 Phases Energy.
In addition to being recognized as one of the Top 10 retail Green Power Partners, Coldwater Creek is also being recognized as a Green Power Leadership Club Member. The Leadership Club honors Green Power Partners that have made an exemplary green power purchase that significantly exceeds minimum Green Power Partnership purchase requirements.
"EPA applauds Coldwater Creek for its leading voluntary green power purchase and for helping to drive demand for new renewable energy power sources," said Kathleen Hogan, Director of the Climate Protection Partnership Division for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. "This Top 25 list includes a number of marquee American retailers that are buying significant amounts of green power."
