The E+ Program A national energy alert sparked the company
to roll out the E+ Program in the spring of 2001. The Home Depot’s
nationwide energy conservation initiative, this program includes
clinics, signage, catalog pages and merchandise displays that
demonstrate a variety of energy saving projects for homeowners.
Our web site www.homedepot.com/energy contains over 200 tips
and products to dramatically reduce energy bills.
Sustainable Forestry Under our guidance, our vendors
are migrating to product lines certified by the Forest
Stewardship Council (FSC), an independent, third party
certification body that is recognized as the “global leader
in responsible forestry.”Our affiliation with the FSC
allows us to maintain a chain of custody so that a product
can be traced back to the forest of origin.
Safety Initiatives Our No. 1 priority
is to ensure that every store is
neighborhood family-friendly. To
that end, our greatest responsibility
in doing the right thing is to
ensure that every customer and
associate has a safe and satisfying
experience in our stores.
Building Community
Habitat for Humanity The Home Depot
has helped build more than 150 affordable
homes as part of Habitat’s self-help pro-
gram of homeownership for low-income
families. Early in 2001 four sponsors in
our hometown of Atlanta joined with us
to build seven energy-efficient Habitat
homes which will result in heating and
cooling bills as low as $300 per year.
