MEMBERS HONORED WITH HIGHEST ENVIRONMENTAL AWARD!
At
a special ceremony in the Cal-EPA building in Sacramento,
SCADA representatives were presented with California’s
highest environmental honor, the prestigious Governor’s
Environmental and Economic Leadership Award. SCADA’s
Partners in the Solution program was recognized by Governor
Arnold Schwarzenegger as a “pioneering effort to integrate
environmental values and conservation of natural resources
into long-term decision making and management of business
and facilities.”
The
Governor’s Environmental and Economic Leadership Award
Program is California’s highest environmental honor.
The program recognizes individuals, organizations, and businesses
that have demonstrated exceptional leadership and made notable,
voluntary contributions in conserving California’s
precious resources, protecting and enhancing our environment,
and building public-private partnerships.
Through
the Partners program, SCADA has succeeded in raising the
bar for the vehicle recycling industry. Partners is an excellent
example of the integration of environmental values into
the long term management of business operations. It has
enabled regulators to focus their enforcement resources
more effectively, by identifying businesses that are operating
responsibly. It has also helped educate key environmental
and regulatory players about the water quality and other
impacts that result when unlicensed dismantlers, rebuilders
or other illegal operators handle wrecked vehicles.
The
program is a unique industry certification program in many
ways:
