RAPAPORT... Tiffany & Co. illuminated every new store opened in 2015
with energy-efficient LED lighting and appointed its first chief sustainability
officer, the jeweler said in its sustainability report.
The retailer hired Anisa Kamadoli Costa last year from her
previous role as the company’s vice-president of global sustainability and
corporate responsibility.
Tiffany appointed the position to "underscore the important role sustainability plays
in our business and our commitment to leadership
on our most critical social and environmental
issues."
The company also set a target to achieve net-zero greenhouse
gas emissions by 2050 as part of a coalition of business leaders known as the
B-team. Other initiatives include a multimillion-dollar internal ‘green fund’
dedicated to projects that save on costs, carbon emissions and resources.
“Of the many reasons to take pride in Tiffany, none is more
important than our long-held commitment to the environment and its people,”
said Frederic Cumenal, Tiffany’s chief executive officer (pictured). “World-class
leadership in sustainability among great luxury brands is rooted in a humble
understanding of our impact on, and thus responsibility to, the world.”
