"At The Home Depot, sustainability is a responsibility. These awards highlight our ongoing commitment to making a positive impact on the environment. As we continue to innovate and collaborate with our partners, our focus remains on driving meaningful change that benefits our customers, communities and the planet."

Safer Choice helps consumers, businesses and purchasers find products that contain ingredients that are safer for human health and the environment. Companies who make products carrying the Safer Choice label have invested heavily in research and reformulation to ensure that their products meet the Safer Choice Standard.
The EPA's SmartWay Transport Partnership is a market-driven initiative that empowers businesses to move goods in the cleanest, most energy-efficient way possible, while protecting public health and reducing air pollution.
WaterSense is both a label for water-efficient products and a resource for helping you save water. Products with the WaterSense label meet EPA specifications for water efficiency and performance, making it easier to find toilets, faucets and sprinkler systems that conserve water in and around your home.
