Recognizing businesses that excel in areas that include environmental awareness, community involvement, safety and international business, the award is given to a company that demonstrates outstanding performance in efforts to continuously improve environmental quality.
Through a partnership with environmental service provider Nexeo Solutions, JCB has reduced its waste stream by 92 percent. The company’s most recent environmental improvement project replaced a 240-ton air-cooled chiller for the office’s HVAC with a new system that uses JCB’s man-made lake as a natural cooling source, reducing peak consumption by more than 60 percent.
