CITY Furniture's 4th Annual Green Summit Brings Together NASCAR, Local Changemakers, and Clean Energy Champions

TAMARAC, Fla., July 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- CITY Furniture hosted its 4th Annual Green Summit at its Tamarac headquarters, uniting community leaders, sustainability advocates, and national brands for a day focused on real-world environmental solutions for South Florida.

The event featured interactive sessions, hands-on learning, and bold conversations around waste reduction, clean energy, and resilience. Attendees took part in building kits to support community resilience with Habitat for Humanity, explored the future of recycling with Waste Management, and experienced sustainable product innovations from partners like Avocado Mattress and Bedgear.

A highlight of the Summit was the keynote address by Guillermo Santa Cruz, President of Homestead-Miami Speedway, who shared NASCAR's vision for a greener future. Guests also took part in guided discussion, led by Silva Garrigo of the University of Miami Herbert Business School, who encouraged participants to reflect on their organization's environmental path and find collaborative ways forward.

In addition, guests received a behind-the-scenes tour of CITY's award-winning fleet and participated in a sustainability showcase spotlighting eco-conscious vendors and partners.

CITY Furniture CEO Andrew Koenig emphasized the company's deep commitment to environmental progress and clean energy innovation.

"As we continue expanding across Florida, our 2040 Green Promise remains at the heart of everything we do," said Koenig. "We've made long-term investments in sustainability and couldn't do it alone. Through our participation in FPL's SolarTogether program, more than 70 percent of CITY's total energy use comes from solar. This allows us to scale our environmental impact as we grow."

In addition to clean energy, CITY has been increasing access to sustainable transportation by installing more EV charging stations at showrooms across the state.

"Clean energy powers our day-to-day business, and we're proud of that," Koenig added. "We hope other companies see what's possible and feel empowered to take action. Because clean energy is not a competition, it's a movement. And there's room for everyone."

As part of the day's celebration, CITY also recognized sustainability leaders making a powerful impact across the region. The company proudly presented Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) with the Sustainable Vendor of the Year Award, Waste Management with the Sustainable Excellence Award for Community Leadership, and honored Monica Cepero as CITY's Municipal Leader in Sustainable Practices.

The annual Green Summit reflects CITY Furniture's belief that sustainability starts with partnership. By bringing together community organizations, national brands, and local businesses, the company continues to inspire collaboration and leadership on the path to a greener future.
