| Owens Corning cited as one of Mexico's most eco-friendly companies Owens Corning, a world leader in building materials systems and composite solutions, received a Clean Industry Certification for its operations in Mexico. The Clean Industry Certification is a distinction awarded to participants of a volunteer environmental program promoted by PROFEPA, Mexico's administrative agency for environmental protection and regulation. To achieve recognition as one of the most environmentally friendly companies in Mexico, Owens Corning met or exceeded all the standards of an audit performed by a third-party environmental company. Owens Corning was evaluated on its environmental risk, health, soil, sub-soil, solid waste, water and wastewater control and practices. Only eight percent of companies located in Mexico participate in PROFEPA's volunteer program. The agency contributes to the country's sustainable development and enforces environmental laws. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
