The US Environmental Protection Agency and The Department of Energy have recognized Sears with the Excellence in ENERGY STAR Outreach 2006 Award for its outstanding contributions to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by marketing and promoting energy-efficient products and solutions.
Sears accomplishments will be recognized at an awards ceremony in Washington, DC on March 21st 2006.
Sears, an ENERGY STAR partner since December, 1998 is being honored for educating consumers about energy efficiency by promoting products that meet EPA and DOE's guidelines for energy efficiency. As one of the first retail partners with ENERGY STAR, Sears has won several awards for leadership including Partner of the Year (2000-2002) and Excellence in Appliance Retailing.
This year, Sears continues to demonstrate market leadership in promoting ENERGY STAR qualified appliances with its 'Spring Into a World of Savings' campaign.
Sears also continues to support qualified appliances in product selection, sales associate training, advertising and on-line. In addition, Sears provided sales associate training on Earth Day; and distributed the Kenmore ENERGY STAR Savings Guide for Sears' customers.
Sears' contributions to energy efficiency have had national impact. Last year alone, with the help of ENERGY STAR, Americans saved $12 billion on their energy bills and enough peak energy to power 28 million homes. Through those savings they avoided greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those of more than 23 million vehicles.
