Sustainable Options

Thinking “green” is a serious long-term commitment on our part to provide our customers with products that deliver style and quality at a smart price, while respecting and improving the environment.

Our approach is twofold: we offer products that meet certain criteria that produce a reduced impact (our Simply Green™ products), and we have broad initiatives that strive to reduce the environmental impacts of our products in all categories, for example our product stewardship efforts and packaging initiatives.

These programs are driven forward by the efforts of our product development team who meet with buyers, suppliers and trend and technology experts to identify how good environmental practices and materials can be incorporated into the product lines we are developing. In addition, we partner with our national brand suppliers to deliver products that achieve the goal of a reduced environmental impact.

Danny Seo, America’s leading lifestyle authority on modern, eco-friendly living, is JCPenney’s green living partner.

"Of all the lifestyle movements that have swept across America, I’ve never seen one movement shift so quickly from new to mainstream as I have with the green-living one. At JCPenney, we’ve learned our customer expects us to not only design and sell beautiful sustainable products, but to do so at affordable prices with added benefits. Our gorgeous Linden Street Quick-Dri towels have resonated so strongly with our customers because they marry beautiful design and energy savings innovation: they dry up to 1/3 faster in the dryer. Our bamboo cutting boards are made from a fast-growing grass which makes them the perfect Simply Green choice, but real chefs also know that bamboo is the ideal surface to slice and dice since it doesn’t dull knives. And with our new table and floor lamps featuring LED (Light Emitting Diode) technology, we’ll be one of the first major retailers to offer these super-energy efficient lamps to our customers at an unbeatable price so they, too, can reap the rewards of LED savings at home. Green living isn’t a trend, but a cultural shift. And I’m proud to partner with my favorite store JCPenney---and to offer these beautiful green products at amazing prices so everyone can live Simply Green." Visit www.simplygreen.com
