The company received three Environmental Eagle Awards for its Utah locations. The Environmental Eagle Award was created to provide national recognition for aggregate-producing companies actively contributing to the maintenance of the environment in and around their operations, as evidenced by the full use of environmental controls and systems. Staker and Parson Companies received Silver awards for its Brigham City and South Weber facilities and a Bronze for its Beck Street facility. "We hold a corporate commitment to act as a good neighbor to the communities and environment we work in," said John Parson, CEO of Staker and Parson Companies. "We have taken tremendous measures in our operations to deliver on that promise and are honored that the NSSGA has recognized our team's efforts." Companies were judged on the following criteria: 1) the quality and effectiveness of the operation's proactive environmental programs, 2) the degree of employee involvement in environmental programs and community environmental outreach, 3) the quality and effectiveness of an operation's pollution prevention and waste minimization programs, and 4) the extent to which an operation has implemented effective environmental controls that produce measurable results that go over and above regulatory requirements. |
