ATLANTA, 2 de julio de 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Home Depot® anunció hoy que sus tiendas han reducido el uso de energía un 23,5% desde 2010 y han superado así el objetivo de la compañía de reducir el consumo un 20% para 2020. El logro de ese objetivo de ahorro de energía tres años antes de lo previsto es uno de los progresos que se detallan en el Informe de Responsabilidad 2018 de la compañía, dado a conocer la semana pasada.

El informe, titulado A Year of Progress (Un año de progreso), describe los avances en sostenibilidad y las iniciativas ambientales, laborales y comunitarias de la compañía. El informe está disponible en Built from Scratch, la sala de prensa corporativa de The Home Depot, e incluye una infografía de resumen. Hay también un episodio especial del podcast "Give Me an H" (Dame una H) de la compañía, con la participación de Ron Jarvis, vicepresidente de innovación ambiental.

"Como parte de nuestros valores, alentamos a nuestros asociados a ser emprendedores, innovadores y creativos, y los éxitos que se verán en este informe son testimonio de su talento y dedicación", afirma Craig Menear, presidente de la junta directiva, director ejecutivo y presidente de The Home Depot. "Estamos orgullosos de su trabajo, aun cuando somos conscientes de que todavía queda mucho por hacer en el futuro".

Nuevos compromisos:

  • The Home Depot anunció una política de licencias por maternidad y paternidad actualizada que otorga seis semanas de licencia 100% retribuida para todos los progenitores, más seis semanas adicionales de licencia por maternidad 100% paga para todas las madres biológicas.
  • La compañía amplió su política global de compra de madera como parte de su compromiso con los Bosques de Alto Valor de Conservación y los Paisajes Forestales Intactos (IFL, por sus siglas en inglés) tropicales. La actualización de la política de la compañía entrará en vigencia el 1 de septiembre de 2018 e incluirá requisitos para las cuencas del Amazonas y el Congo, Papúa Nueva Guinea y las Islas Salomón.
  • The Home Depot ha solicitado a sus proveedores que, para fines de 2022, no incluyan químicos en los productos de limpieza hogareña residencial que se venden en Internet y en tiendas.

Algunos puntos notables 2017:

  • Diversidad e inclusión: más del 50% de las nuevas contrataciones de la compañía fueron étnicamente diversas y más del 34% fueron mujeres.
  • Comunidad: en 2017, The Home Depot Foundation otorgó US$ 63 millones para apoyar a las comunidades locales, incluidos más de US$ 4 millones para ayudar en las regiones afectadas por huracanes e incendios catastróficos. Además, The Homer Fund, la organización sin fines de lucro de asistencia a los empleados de la empresa, proporcionó ayuda a más de 6.000 empleados que sufrieron evacuaciones, daños residenciales o la pérdida total de su vivienda.
  • Medio ambiente: además de ayudar a los clientes a reducir su impacto ambiental mediante productos ENERGY STAR y WaterSense, The Home Depot redujo un 10% las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero de Alcance 3 en la cadena de transporte y distribución de mercancías.
