December 1, 2006—The Coalition for Government Procurement (CGP) has recognized DuPont for its overall commitment to the environment. The Green Contractor Award is given annually to the government contractor that has made the strongest overall commitment to the environment by either offering environmentally friendly products and services or adhering to environmentally sound manufacturing and/or operating procedures.
The 2006 Green Contractor Award was presented as part of CGP’s seventh annual Excellence in Partnership Awards program in Washington, DC., which recognizes people and organizations from both the public and private sectors that have made significant strides in the promotion and use of Government Services Administration’s (GSA) Multiple Award Schedules Program.
DuPont is continually creating new ways for the US Federal Government to access its industry-leading sustainable capabilities. For example, DuPont’s Environmental Waste Treatment Unit has made its technology, facilities, and service expertise directly available to the government under GSA Schedules. Additionally, an increasing number of DuPont’s commercial products and planned refinements of existing products are becoming available to the government under GSA Schedules, competitively awarded vendor agreements or strategic partnerships with distributors and resellers already doing significant business with the US Federal Government.
