Planet Subaru Receives Leader in Sustainability Award
A showroom powered by the sun, an on-site wildlife habitat and orchard, plus landscaping courtesy of goats. These are all practices at Planet Subaru, one of our earliest Eco-Friendly stores. Planet became the ninth certified retailer in 2012. Nearly a decade later, continued environmental commitment earned it this year’s Cox Automotive Leader in Sustainability Award.
