For over three decades, WMC has presented this award to companies who have demonstrated environmental leadership through sustainability, stewardship and innovation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWisconsin businesses lead the charge in protecting the environment, showing commitment to both their communities and the future of our state,\u201d said WMC Director of Environmental &amp; Energy Policy Craig Summerfield. \u201cThis year\u2019s recipients of the Business Friend of the Environment Awards truly go above and beyond what they are required to protect the environment, and WMC is proud to highlight their important efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Awards are presented in three categories, according to company size. Businesses must demonstrate they have made significant improvements in the areas of sustainability, environmental stewardship or environmental innovation. The goal of this awards program is to demonstrate to state policymakers, businesses and the public that sound environmental practices are good for Wisconsin and its business environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCongratulations to this year\u2019s winners of the Business Friend of the Environment Awards,\u201d added Summerfield. \u201cWe\u2019re grateful for this opportunity to show that Wisconsin employers are committed to environmental protection, not because of burdensome regulation, but because it\u2019s good for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/media.wmc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/12090652\/Profiles_2023_BFOE_web.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2023 Business Friend of the Environment Award Winners<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">SUSTAINABILITY<\/span><br \/>\nCentrisys\/CNP, <em>Kenosha<\/em> (Small Category)<br \/>\nOutlook Group, <em>Neenah<\/em> (Medium Category)<br \/>\nWM, <em>Germantown<\/em> (Large Category)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP<\/span><br \/>\nDedicated Computing, LLC, <em>Waukesha<\/em> (Small Category)<br \/>\nMasters Gallery Foods, <em>Plymouth<\/em> (Medium Category)<br \/>\nAshley Furniture Industries, LLC, <em>Arcadia<\/em> (Large Category)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">ENVIRONMENTAL INNOVATION<\/span><br \/>\nPellitteri Waste Systems, <em>Madison<\/em> (Small Category)<br \/>\nColbert Packaging, <em>Kenosha<\/em> (Medium Category)<br \/>\nExact Sciences, <em>Madison<\/em> (Large Category)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.wmc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/12090652\/Profiles_2023_BFOE_web.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The 2023 Wisconsin Business Friend of the Environment award winners<\/a><\/span> were selected by an independent panel of judges who represent the business community and environmentalists.
