At Banco Santander SA (SAN) headquarters on the outskirts of Madrid, Joaquin de Ena says he’s gotten used to wearing his sweater vest indoors after the bank turned down the heat to trim power use and greenhouse-gas emissions.
“This is OK,” de Ena, director of corporate social responsibility, says with a laugh as he looks at a conference room thermostat as a chilly wind blows through the capital on an early March day. “I’m not sure if it should go any lower.”
Elsewhere on Santander’s 395-acre (160-hectare) campus, Antonio Garcia Mendez is adapting the green philosophy to investments. Spain’s biggest bank arranged a $324 million loan for a U.S. wind farm developed by BP Plc and Sempra Energy (SRE) last year, Bloomberg Markets reports in its May issue.

For much of 2006 and into 2007, Environmental Defense Fund had been battling to stop TXU Corp., Texas’s largest power producer, from building 11 coal-fired plants. The barrage of lawsuits, town-hall meetings and online community groups was also becoming a major headache for KKR & Co., TPG Capital and Goldman Sachs Group Inc.’s private-equity arm, which were planning the world’s biggest leveraged buyout of the utility company.

Reilly sat down with James Marston, director of EDF’s Texas office, on Feb. 21, 2007, Bloomberg Markets magazine reports in its May issue. Over scrambled eggs and coffee at San Francisco’s Mandarin Oriental hotel, the two agreed that to win environmentalists’ blessing, TXU’s new owners would build just three plants, Marston says.

Before Carlyle completed the deal, Payne consultants evaluated manufacturing and distribution and suggested ways to cut packaging and increase recycling. In January, NBTY opened a plant in Burton-on-Trent, England, that can produce more than a million packets of dried fruits and nuts per week.
The plant has a recycling facility right on the grounds.
When TPG, founded as Texas Pacific Group, bought Caesars Entertainment Corp. in 2008 with Leon Black’s Apollo Global Management LLC, the world’s biggest casino operator had been investing in energy savings since 2003.

KKR put SunGard Data Systems Inc. in Wayne, Pennsylvania, on a plan to lower energy use at 60 data centers in North America and Europe.
Computers in these buildings process trading and financial data for banks and brokerages that manage $25 trillion of assets. They also produce three-quarters of the company’s greenhouse gas emissions, says Ryan Whisnant, SunGard’s director of sustainability.
