As part of The Container Store’s commitment and effort, all of their stores, distribution centers, and corporate office power is offset by an investment in 100% renewable energy, powered by one of the cleanest power sources: wind.

“The Container Store is passionate about the environment and is fully committed to reducing the overall footprint of our operations,” said President and CEO, Satish Malhotra. “We are proud to join the EPA’s Green Power Partnership. Using green power helps further reduce our organization's emissions footprint.”
