Sustainability
While technology might not technically be an official basic human need (like food, clothing or shelter), it sure seems that we can’t live without it. We rely on our electronic devices because they enhance, organize and connect our lives.
But have you thought about where those devices come from? Or, more importantly, who makes them? The actual people who put all the technological doohickeys together?
Best Buy thinks about it – a lot. We consciously operate our business in a way that seeks to ensure the people who work in the factories that produce our products are safe and treated fairly.
Whether your office is at home or in a shared space, there are easy changes you can make to make it more sustainable.
The National Grant recipients give underserved youth access to tech education.
Fifty years ago, Dick Schulze opened his first electronics store in St. Paul, Minnesota, called Sound of Music. Under his leadership, this one store grew into the Best Buy that we know today.
Dick, Best Buy’s Founder and Chairman Emeritus, along with his late wife, Sandy, believed that a company is a family. They embedded the spirit of giving back and taking care of one another into the culture of Best Buy. Employees still feel that continued support from our founder today.
At Best Buy, we are continuously looking for opportunities to reduce energy usage and carbon emissions, not just in our stores and distribution centers, but at our corporate office too.

Commercial buildings that earn EPA’s ENERGY STAR certification use an average of 35 percent less energy than typical buildings and also release 35 percent less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
