reductions to net-zero goals to active com-
munity outreach, this year’s Eco-Leaders are

actively pursuing sustainable initiatives and

community leadership roles befitting of their

status as manufacturing giants.

F ufacturing plants and beefing up recycling

programs, these Eco-Leaders are working hard to give back

at least some of the natural resources that they are extracting
from the planet.

on sustainable committees.
By empowering its employees to get involved as well, these

companies are working hard to make a difference.
