General Motors is proud to announce that it has received the 2020 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Sustained Excellence Award for continued leadership and superior contributions to ENERGY STAR.
“Being honored as an ENERGY STAR award winner for the ninth year is a recognition of the people at General Motors who are committed to creating a zero-emissions future,” said GM Chief Sustainability Officer Dane Parker. “The innovations and processes that have been brought forward to reduce energy intensity, the tools provided by the EPA and strong partnerships with others have been at the center of our success, and the inspiration to continuously improve.”
In 2010, GM committed to a 20 percent reduction in carbon intensity by 2020, which was met early in 2017. And in February, GM Chairman and CEO Mary Barra announced accelerated energy goals, including the sourcing of 100 percent renewable energy in GM U.S. facilities by 2030, and globally by 2040.
“I salute the 2020 ENERGY STAR award winners,” said Anne Idsal, EPA principal deputy assistant administrator for air and radiation. “These leaders demonstrate how energy efficiency drives economic competitiveness in tandem with environmental protection.”
The highest honor among ENERGY STAR awards is the ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year—Sustained Excellence Award. EPA presents the Sustained Excellence Award to partners that have already received ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year recognition for a minimum of two consecutive years and have gone above and beyond the criteria needed to qualify for recognition. Winners hail from small, family-owned businesses to Fortune 500 organizations — representing energy-efficient products, services, new homes and buildings in the commercial, industrial and public sectors.
