Environmental Recognition Awards Program
Environmental Recognition Awards
Program
The Environmental Recognition Awards were developed to provide recognition of a company’s dedication to continuous environmental improvement, as witnessed by the development and implementation of Environmental Management Systems (EMS). Four tiers are available to encourage EMS development through a stepwise approach. Tier I, II, II or IV awards are based on points assigned by responses to the program questionnaire, and represent achievement of progressively more sophisticated environmental programs and EMSs.
Submission
for the 2012 program is now closed. Award winners will be honored on March 14, 2012 as part of AMIF's Conference on Worker Safety, Health, Human Resources and the Environment in Kansas City, Mo.

Metrics
Collection of metrics is a required part of all AMI environmental awards. The following worksheet is designed to help you chart your "environmental footprint," by identifying key environmental measurements to track progress from season to season and year to year. Use these comparisons to determine key aspects in your plant operations to focus your EMS, or to support your application for an Environmental Achievement Award.
