Acura Environmental Leadership Program
At Acura the preservation of our environment is not a luxury but an integral part of the advanced values of the Acura brand. Accordingly, Acura is extending its commitment to the environment with the creation of the Acura Environmental Leadership Program, an initiative that invites Acura dealers throughout the U.S. to voluntarily reduce the environmental impact of their dealerships.
The program is based on a comprehensive set of environmental best practices designed by Acura specifically for auto dealerships.
There are three levels of the Acura Environmental Leadership Award:
- Silver-level dealers must achieve a 10% reduction in total energy use and meet a threshold of 30 points.
- Gold-level dealers must achieve a 30% reduction in total energy use and meet a threshold of 45 points.
- The top-level Platinum dealers must achieve a 50% reduction in total energy use and meet a threshold of 60 points.
- Dealerships who earn Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification from the U.S. Green Building
- Council or become Electric Grid Neutral* automatically qualify for the Platinum Award.

*Electric Grid Neutral means that the dealer produces as much as or more energy from renewable energy sources than it consumes from its local electric utility over a one-year period.
