In March 2007, ICSC launched the Sustainable Energy and Environmental Design (SEED) initiative to survey and support green construction practices. The SEED program encompasses education, best practices, recognition, conferences, publications and legislation to promote green building and business practices. In May 2007, ICSC hosted its first ever Green Pavilion and Green Zone at the annual RECON conference, showcasing product and service providers who are committed to the environment. In May 2008, the ICSC and SkySite Property, LLC unveiled the next evolution in the SEED initiative, ICSCSEED.org, a new retail knowledge-based web portal.

ICSCSEED.org is a knowledge-based web portal providing the most comprehensive online green news and sustainable best practices for the entire retail real estate industry. ICSCSEED.org provides a wealth of information for anyone interested in learning about the greening of retail stores and shopping centers, or their company’s operations. Visitors to the site will find the information they need to advance their corporate environmental and green building strategies.

Visitors to ICSCSEED.org will have a single point of access to:

• Premium content, including the latest green news, research, white papers, case studies and best practices
• The SEED community
• Online green building tools
• A green product and service provider directory
• Event, symposium and conference calendars
