This national symbol for superior energy efficiency and environmental protection, presented by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), signifies that the building’s energy performance rates in the top 25 percent of facilities nationwide.

Currently, BNY Mellon has 10 ENERGY STAR-certified commercial office properties totaling 5.4 million square feet.

“Owning a building that achieves top energy performance is a sign of good management, but owning a portfolio of high-performance, energy-efficient buildings demonstrate environmental leadership and superior management,” said Kathleen Hogan, director of EPA’s Climate Protection Partnerships Division. “The ENERGY STAR distinguishes organizations like The Bank of New York Mellon who are taking environmental responsibility into their own hands.”

I wonder how long it will be before we see more enterprises commenting on their green credentials in terms of their IT and their facilities, particularly as we start to move towards the carbon trading scheme and declaring our business carbon footprint.
