PMG SUSTAINABILITY AWARDS NOMINATIONS OPEN
 |
USPS has a number of goals to reduce its carbon footprint. Lowering greenhouse gas emissions, using less petroleum-based fuel and decreasing facility energy use are three of the major ones. Reaching those goals will take a coordinated effort from everyone in the Postal Service.
A number of employees are already helping USPS achieve its green goals. To recognize their efforts, the Postal Service is accepting nominations for the first-ever “Postmaster General Sustainability Excellence Award.”
There are eight categories open for nomination — waste reduction, recycling and pollution prevention; purchasing; facility operations and maintenance; transportation; mail processing and delivery operation; IT and electronics stewardship; employee engagement in sustainability; and selling green value to our customers.
Nominations are due July 31. Up to eight awards will be presented to successful individuals or teams based on area and headquarters submissions.
