This prestigious sustainability award is presented to organizations and companies with more than $150 million in annual revenue for their efforts to promote energy efficiency. U-Haul was selected over other high-profile finalists such as IBM, Honeywell, Morgan Stanley and the U.S. Postal Service, to name a few. Previous winners include The Home Depot, Dow Chemicals and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

“The Alliance to Save Energy is proud to honor energy efficiency leaders like U-Haul,” stated Alliance to Save Energy President, Kateri Callahan. “Through its distinctive approach to energy efficiency in vehicle sharing and storage, U-Haul is saving its customers money, while significantly reducing its energy use and emissions.”
