Commitment To Environmental Excellence
Awards Competition
Purpose
The National Ready Mixed Concrete Association’s Commitment To Environmental
Excellence Awards competition offers producers national recognition for
outstanding contributions to protecting the environment and maintaining
sound management practice in their operations. Now in its 15th year, the
program salutes companies that have not only met, but surpassed governmental
compliance measures and demonstrated a commitment to environmental
excellence through plant and staff investment.
Eligibility
Any member company of NRMCA in good standing, producing ready mixed concrete
from a fixed plant location in the U.S., its territories or Canada is
eligible to enter. Awards will be determined upon individual plant merit;
companies may choose to enter plants from any or all of the three production
volume categories. Portable plants do not qualify. Winners of the previous
year’s awards program are not permitted to participate in this year’s
contest, but may enter again in the following year. Honorable mention
honorees may enter the next year.
Awards
First Place and, where appropriate, Honorable Mention awards will be
presented to operators who have best demonstrated environmental excellence
and innovative management. Awards will be made in three categories based on
the plant’s previous year’s annual production volume. Winning entrants will
be honored at an awards presentation ceremony at NRMCA's ConcreteWorks. Winning and Honorable Mention facilities will also be featured
in an edition of Concrete Products magazine.
Judging
A panel consisting of regulatory officials, industry and environmental
consultants will review entries. Entries will be judged based on a written
narrative covering 10 criteria. Judges depend heavily on photographs of
submitted plants to complete their evaluations. Participants are encouraged
to submit photographs that clearly demonstrate environmental systems and
processes and at least one photo that offers a broad view of the plant site.
