GM Earns Two ENERGY STAR Awards


MT. PLEASANT, Mich. – General Motors has just announced that the company has earned the U.S Environmental Protection Agency’s 2015 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year award for Sustained Excellence for leadership in protecting the environment through superior energy efficiency. GM has also received the ENERGY STAR Climate Communications award.

GM earns two ENERGY STAR awards, and Greg Martin, the GM executive director for sustainability said; "Achieving operational excellence in all we do extends to reducing the environmental impact of how we build our vehicles, we are leveraging our scale to conserve energy and resources throughout the manufacturing process.” GM has been a partner with ENERGY STAR since 1995 and since then, the automotive company has reduced their energy intensity of all of its US operations by 40%. GM has also reduced its CO2 emission intensity by 41%. These savings combined equal the equivalent to the electricity used by over 800,000 homes in one year and have allowed General Motors to save over $400 million in energy costs.

The EPA specifically recognized GM’s ability to engage college students, professors, non-governmental organizations and environmental leaders in a social media conversation via #CleanEnergyU s part of the voluntary Clean Energy Campus Campaign. GM earns two ENERGY STAR awards this year, and it is just a small part of the continual partnership between General Motors and ENERGY STAR.
