3M and Spear receive TLMI Environmental Awards

At the TLMI’s recent Annual Meeting held in Scottsdale, Arizona, 3M and Spear each received TLMI Environmental Leadership Awards. The award recognizes TLMI member companies that have consistently demonstrated a commitment to progressive environmental practices across a range of areas including solid waste reduction, recycling, waste or energy recovery, the implementation of new ‘clean’ technology and/or processes, and the implementation of an education program.  

Calvin Frost, CEO of Channeled Resources Group and TLMI Environmental Committee chair, commented: ‘This is our seventh year in presenting these awards and recognizing leaders of environmental awareness in our industry. Without a doubt, this activity supports the TLMI’s position on sustainability. We have begun and will continue to change the culture of our industry, and this year’s winners should be proud. Fifteen companies submitted entries and from this group of prestigious suppliers two were chosen.’ 

The award for Technical Innovation was given to 3M, while Spear won the award for Best Practices in Environmental Leadership for reducing its carbon footprint in every aspect of its business.  

Frost commented: ‘The decision for these leadership awards has always been made by an independent panel of judges from industry peers that recognize and grade the specificity of the submitted applications. This year’s entries, like those of the past, demonstrate a commitment of time and research. An enormous effort is required and I would like to congratulate this year’s winners, and all of the companies who submitted entries for their contributions.’
