  • Reduction in use of 6.3M ft2 fiber board, 15.5tons/188,000ft3 avoided landfill (foam) and 3900 wooden pallets from the system
  • Reduction in Ocean / truck containers required by 19% & fuel consumption by 17,800 gallons
  • Reduction in emissions over 210 tons of CO2
  • Other benefits such as warehousing costs

Caesars Entertainment

Initiative: Energy efficient facilities & waste management

Example: Since Sept 2009, est. 6.8 million kWh electric savings & 3100 MT avoided Carbon - $775 K annual cost savings

Sample Results:

  • Energy reduction: 2003-2010 Caesars invested more than $50 million in reducing energy usage, resulting in more than $17 million in annual run-rate savings across 110 projects, representing a 163 million kilowatt-hour reduction per year in energy usage (e.g. replacing almost all interior & exterior bulbs with energy-efficient lighting, replacing thermostats, upgrading HVAC equipment)
  • Water Conservation: Upgrading laundry facilities, offering guests an opt-out linen cleaning option, serving guests water only on request, replacing irrigated turn on golf courses with drought-resistant landscaping
  • Waste Management: All properties with recycling programs in place by 2010. 2009: Waste oil project (domestic properties recycling more than 640,000 gallons of waste oil each year), mapping of properties to reduce waste resulting in 50% increase in materials recovered for recycling & a 33% reduction in trash at the two properties

J. Crew

Initiative: Procurement

Example: J. Crew incorporated the use of the Environmental Paper Assessment Tool (EPAT) as a policy to procure paper for Direct Mail catalogs

Sample Results:
