H&M makes EPA green power lists

New York - H&M is number 32 on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) National Top 100 list of the largest green power users. H&M is using nearly 172 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of green power annually, which is enough green power to meet 100% of the organization's electricity use.



In addition to H&M's spot on the National Top 100 list, H&M also appears as number five on the Top 30 Retail list. This green power commitment also qualifies H&M for EPA's Green Power Leadership Club, a distinction given to organizations that have significantly exceeded EPA's minimum requirements. Green Power Leadership Club members must use 10 times the Partnership's minimum green power use requirement organization-wide.



According to the U.S. EPA, H&M's green power use of nearly 172 million kWh is equivalent to avoiding the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the electricity use of more than 16,000 average American homes annually.
