As conserving energy and being environmentally conscious becomes increasingly important for consumers across the country, brands are figuring out how they can make the movement a part of their identity. But so far, only a few have made significant progress toward reducing the energy that they use. One of those brands is Arby&rsquo;s.

And now, the EPA is reporting that its initiatives have been a success. Energy Star&rsquo;s website notes that by 2015, Arby&rsquo;s reached 15.2 percent savings through its commitment to the program, making it the &ldquo;most successful voluntary energy efficiency movement in history.&rdquo;

To make those impressive results a reality, the brand undertook a variety of initiatives, including acquiring more energy-efficient and cost-effective equipment. The brand replaced more than 300 gas fryers for Energy Star-certified ones, saving them $117,000 in energy costs in 2016 alone. Arby&rsquo;s also installed EPA WaterSense-labeled irrigation controllers at 85 restaurants across the country, ultimately sving 7.4 million gallons of water every six months. That&rsquo;s enough water to fill 11 Olympic-size swimming pools.
