Our timeline of Sustainability
2019
We installed six electric vehicle charging stations in Pittsburgh and four in Wilkes-Barre with $40,000 in state grants.
We won in the large company category of the Sustainable Pittsburgh Challenge, formerly Green Workplace Challenge, for the third consecutive year.
2018
Fifth Avenue Place receives the ENERGY STAR recertification and meets the 2030 District energy goal of 50 percent reduction of energy use below baseline by 2030.
2017
We are recognized by Sustainable Pittsburgh as the winner in the large company category of the
Green Workplace Challenge
for the second year. Additionally, we won Top Water Saver in the competition.
Three facilities are recertified for ENERGY STAR, signifying that over 80 percent of Highmark's owned office space is among the most energy efficient nationwide.
2016
We achieve ENERGY STAR certification for Highmark West Virginia headquarters, Highmark Health's corporate headquarters in Pittsburgh, and recertification for Center Street, signifying that over 80 percent of Highmark's owned office space is among the most energy efficient nationwide.
2015
We are recognized by Sustainable Pittsburgh as the winner in the large company category of the
Green Workplace Challenge
for its achievements related to energy conservation, its support of bicycling initiatives and its other environmental efforts.
We achieve recognition as a "bicycle friendly business" from the
League of American Bicyclists
— bronze level for Highmark West Virignia headquarters and silver level for Highmark's Pittsburgh location.
2014
We achieve
LEED Gold for Commercial Interiors
for the first fully renovated floor in Fifth Avenue Place Highmark offices.
2013
We achieve 20,000 tree donations through the
Arbor Day Foundation
, who we have been partnering with to plant trees since 2010.
2012
We achieve
ENERGY STAR
certification at our data center facility and Center Street location, signifying that the facilities are in the top 25 percent of energy efficient buildings among similar buildings nationwide.
We become a founding partner of the
Pittsburgh 2030 District
, a community of high performance buildings in downtown Pittsburgh whose goals include 50 percent reductions of transportation emissions and energy and water consumption by the year 2030.
Our company joins 150 other organizations of the Breathe Project, a coalition of community and business partners in southwestern Pennsylvania dedicated to improving the region's air quality.
2011
Our energy savings projects like lighting upgrades and the installation of variable frequency drives throughout our corporate headquarters save over 1.5 million kWh per year with an average return on investment of less than two years.
TreeVitalize Pittsburgh
plants 19 new native species trees around Fifth Avenue Place. Thanks to a grant from the Colcom Foundation and our company's support, ten of the newly planted trees use Silva Cell technology that allow trees to retain more water and roots to grow healthier without damaging the sidewalk.

Penn's Corner Farm Alliance
CSA (community supported agriculture) programs to our employees.

1990s
We locate offices in Penn Avenue Place, which were designed and renovated based upon green building principles before there was a LEED rating system. The building, a turn of the last century department store, was renovated as opposed to being torn down and rebuilt. Other renovations include energy efficient lighting; paints, carpets, and finishes with low volatile organic compounds (VOCs); an atrium to bring in natural light; and bike racks for employees and guests.
