Reckson, a division of SL Green Realty Corp. has received a green business certification through Westchester Green Business-Certified (WGB-Certified), a program launched by Westchester County and The Business Council of Westchester.
The WGB-Certified designation is significant. It purports to support Westchester-based organizations "go green" while saving money and improving performance. Reckson/SL Green has been a leading program sponsor since 2010. Through collaboration and "peer-learning," WGB-Certified participants develop all aspects of sustainable business practices addressing energy, transportation, waste management, land use, water and carbon footprint analysis.
"Reckson/SL Green is pleased to be one of Westchester's first companies to achieve this environmental award, recognizing the caliber and success of our environmental initiatives," said John Barnes, Reckson senior vice president and managing director. "Our sustainable initiatives have become a successful tool for our business, achieved through our commitment to invest in greater efficiency, provide a "best- in-class" experience for our tenants and lead the way for our industry and community here in Westchester."
