We have a deep sense of stewardship for managing our resources and maximizing our positive social impact. Our sustainability principles guide these efforts.

Energy & Greenhouse Gas Reductions Through LED Lighting
Over the past nine years, Macy’s, Inc. has reduced our energy consumption by 14%, with another 3% reduction projected for 2019, through the installation of LED lighting. In addition to being more energy and cost-efficient, LED lights run much cooler and provide better merchandise visibility, keeping the store environment comfortable and enhancing the customer experience. We plan to continue to expand our LED initiative at key locations across our portfolio.
Product Packaging
Developing responsible products also includes reducing the environmental impact of product packaging. Macy’s, Inc. has adopted a number of best practices, which include standardizing the size of packing cartons and minimizing packaging materials. Increasingly, we incorporate recycled content into our packaging, especially in corrugated cardboard. We also use auto boxer and auto bagger machines that can build a package that perfectly fits odd or oversized items. This fit-to-size auto-boxing technology reduces box volume up to 50% by creating the smallest parcel needed at the lowest expense, which also helps reduce shipping costs.
Building on a 160-year tradition, and with the collective support of customers and colleagues, Macy’s, Inc. strengthens communities by supporting local and national charities to help make a difference in the lives of our customers. Giving back is one of our core values, and we want to create as much positive impact as possible.
Macy’s corporate giving is allocated at local, regional, and national levels to provide charitable funding to support and serve the communities in which we live and work. The funds are distributed through a network of district grant captains, store colleagues who have direct connection to their local communities.
