Sustainability

We are committed stewards of the environment. Whether we’re renovating an existing bookstore or building a new one, we work closely with our college partners to fulfill their green goals and vision. Our experienced architects can help design LEED-certified buildings. For building interiors, we work with manufacturers to recycle old fixtures and construction debris.

For Barnes & Noble College, sustainability begins at home. In an ongoing initiative to reduce the volume of paper that we generate at our home office in Basking Ridge, N.J., we use an online reporting tool that eliminates the need to print and circulate monthly P&L and merchandise reports.

We also have paperless invoicing in place with several vendors and have wire payment arrangements with both vendors and colleges to reduce the need to generate printed checks and envelopes.

 

  • We use our knowledge of industry trends, coupled with intimate knowledge of each campus, to keep the bookstore an exciting retail destination.
