Improved environmental awareness, involvement and competency throughout the organization

As a manager my skills have improved as a result of an increased understanding of the organization and its environmental issues. My knowledge about operations has been broadened and I have an increased understanding of technical and personnel issues.

There’s a much better understanding of environmental issues in every department of the fenceline, not just in the environmental department. We are recognizing simple internal “housekeeping” measures that are having a positive effect on our environmental performance. We have self-imposed additional requirements to help prevent pollution, reduce energy use, manage our contractor, and expand environmental education for our citizens. Employees are bringing ideas for reducing our waste streams, for less toxic products. There has been a definite improvement in involvement and morale!

There are many more people aware and involved in environmental protection and stewardship than ever before. There’s a sharing of responsibly because a link has been formed between the environmental department and other departments.
