VALLEY FORGE, Pa. - CertainTeed Corporation and
its sister Saint-Gobain companies in North America are honored to be selected
for the second straight year as a 2010 Energy Star Partner of the Year for
Energy Management by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA).
This prestigious award recognizes all of Saint-Gobain’s North American
businesses, including CertainTeed, for their accomplishments and leadership in
reducing greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency.
In 2009, Saint-Gobain’s energy-use reduction equated to a reduction in carbon
dioxide emissions released to the atmosphere of more than 70,000 tons, a
savings equivalent to the amount of energy required to manufacture wallboard to
cover nearly 45,000 homes or insulate 100,000 homes.
“CertainTeed is committed to preserving our environment through sustainable
manufacturing and developing products that will improve energy efficiency,”
said Peter Dachowski, president and CEO for CertainTeed Corporation. “We are
pleased with our employees’ dedication to energy management which has made this
year’s Energy Star Partner of Year award possible.”
