Spanish shoe chain VOGUE LV opens first sustainable store of Galicia

The galician shoe company Calzados Vogue LV opened its first sustainable store in Galicia. This green store reduces almost with 3 tons the emision of CO2.

To achieve this objective they changed all the lighting in the store, using different types of low energy lighting, like the LED lighting (the placement of the LED recudes the consumption of electricity with 40% compared to the other stores).

The creation of the sustainable store was realized by using ecological materials. They used ecological paint and the bambu what is placed on the floor comes from plantations which have been checked. The airconditioning placed is a second hand airconditioning to reduce the level of garbage.

The ecological part of the store is not only limited to the store design, but also includes the shopping process. After their purchases the clients will leave the stores with bags of biodegradable material.

Please check their website for further information on this green store concept.
