Best Buy recently released a gift card made of paper that can go right into your recycling bin at home. Easy peasy.
Recycling
Today is a big day at Best Buy. It’s our 50th birthday, our golden anniversary, the big five-oh. We spent some time in the company archives learning more about who we are.
Is your fridge old enough to drive? If so, it might be time to flip your fridge and replace that energy-hogging refrigerator with a new ENERGY STAR® certified model.
The distinction from the EPA recognizes Best Buy's commitment to electronics recycling, transparent management practices and consumer education throughout 2014.
More than 100 million people will turn on their televisions Sunday to watch the big game. As you’re gearing up to join them, we want to help keep your home safe from a potential danger: TV tip-overs.
For Best Buy, CES 2016 isn't just about the latest tech. It's also about finding sustainable solutions for our business and our customers.
There’s nothing like the feeling of a brand new smartphone with the newest technology at your fingertips (not to mention the bragging rights) – and the feeling is even better if you can get some money back for the outdated one.
Best Buy has been named to the Dow Jones Index for Sustainable Investing (DJSI) for the fifth consecutive year.
The Index is the official sustainability performance ranking of the largest 600 North American companies. It follows a best-in-class approach to measure and compare companies on environmental, social and corporate governance criteria. Investors around the world use it as a tool to evaluate leadership and make decisions about which companies they want to invest in.
This year, Best Buy increased its ranking in the retail category, scoring in the 88th percentile, 20 points above the average retail company.
Operating 1,400 stores across the U.S., Best Buy can have a huge environmental impact – and we want to make sure ours is a positive one.
The Best Buy Environmental Management System (EMS) has recently been re-certified to ISO 14001, a voluntary global standard of quality that reflects our commitment to the environment. Achieving ISO 14001 certification is a BIG undertaking. Why did we choose to go through the rigorous process?
The simple answer is: It’s good for business.
Implementing an EMS gives us the tools and structure to effectively and efficiently lessen our environmental impact.
Happy 10th Anniversary, Best Buy Sustainability Report!
We’ve come a long way since our first Corporate Responsibility & Sustainability report in 2006. During this journey, we have tried 50 different ways to make an infographic, coerced co-workers into posing for photos, dabbled in QR codes, and conquered GRI G4.
We’ve gone from “rah-rah” Best Buy to digging into serious issues that affect our business and the world. From E-waste Recycling to Human Rights, we have stayed true to our objective over the years – to positively impact our world.
It’s not easy being green, a wise frog once said. But shouldn’t it be easy?
At Best Buy, we believe being sustainable is good for business, and we have proof. Contrary to the old adage that it costs more to be “green” – it really can save money. Our recent 20% carbon reduction attainment saved Best Buy more than $50 million. Our leaders get it – they made sustainability a priority even through the Company’s turnaround.
It’s also easy to say you’re a “green” company.
Best Buy’s five-year-long drive to reduce its carbon footprint by at least 20 percent by 2020 was recognized as an unparalleled retailer achievement at U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) White House ceremonies in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday night.
The reduction is part of the company’s effort to address climate change.
Thanks to a combination of an industry-leading energy management system, store lighting retrofit and improved fleet and distribution practices, Best Buy was commended for exceeding its goal and reducing emissions by 26 percent since 2010.
