Walgreens was named one of the greenest companies in the country in 2009 by Newsweek.

In the Greenlight

You've heard of being in the spotlight, but when it comes to the environment we like to shine good news under the greenlight. This September, Newsweek named it's top 500 greenest companies of 2009. Walgreens ranked 38th in the retail sector and 235th overall. When it comes to vehicle fleet management, we rounded out Automotive Fleet Magazine's Top 50 Green Fleets in America list.

If it's our stores or fleet on the street, we are concerned about how our business impacts the environment and continue to find new ways to limit our carbon footprint.

Inking a new way of thinking

With so many people working on papers, projects and to-do lists, printers are busy, too, trying to keep up with demand. Instead of tossing out your ink cartridge and running out to buy a brand new one, Walgreens offers an affordable and more environmentally-friendly way to get you inking a new way of thinking.

Ready to refill

In 2006, we launched a service offering printer cartridge refills. Prices are about half the cost of an original cartridge. Thanks to the program, our customers have kept millions of cartridges out of landfills.

Walgreens is seeing a steady increase in demand for the service as more people become aware of the quality, convenience and impact on the environment. More than 4,000 locations now offer the service.
