Corning Achieves a Decade of Distinction as ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year
Corning has been named an ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year (PoY) in the industrial category for the tenth consecutive year, a distinction only ten companies have achieved in the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ENERGY STAR programme.
“We are on an ongoing quest to make customers and the company more competitive and to support healthier communities around the world,” said Tom Capek, senior vice president and chief engineer. “A decade of recognition from the ENERGY STAR programme demonstrates Corning’s commitment to our global efforts to increase energy efficiency and to support our mission of continuously improving reliability, efficiency, and productivity.”
The company also achieved the EPA’s Sustained Excellence designation for the eighth consecutive year. The EPA presents the Sustained Excellence award to partners that have received an ENERGY STAR PoY recognition for a minimum of two consecutive years and that have gone above and beyond the criteria needed to qualify for recognition.
“Having an outside entity assess how well Corning is doing on not only our goals but across industry objectives helps keep our teams focused and provides unbiased feedback, so we can make changes to our energy management program,” said Bruce Hostrander, division energy manager and senior project management associate. “The partnership between ENERGY STAR and Corning means that we share the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and continue to bring value to our customers in the products that we manufacture.”
