The award is given to those businesses and organizations with the most comprehensive, innovative, and/or improved recycling programs. Nolte was honored with the recognition on May 11, 2006 at ESD and San Diego EarthWorks' Very Important Planet (VIP) reception.
Nolte's mission is to deliver innovative and sustainable solutions for civil infrastructure projects. With more than 400 professionals in offices throughout the Western United States and Mexico, their "green" perspective defines all business aspects with the goal of having a minimal impact on the environment. Included in this effort are:
- office recycling programs
- environmentally friendly office supplies and practices
- a hybrid vehicle fleet
- energy-efficiency measures
- a monthly newsletter distributed to employees that highlights sustainable projects and the accomplishments of each office
"Creating an environment that encourages waste reduction has been an important part of Nolte's business philosophy, so it is an honor to be recognized for environmentally responsible practices by the City of San Diego Environmental Services Department," says George S. Nolte, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Nolte.
The City of San Diego's Environmental Services Department is charged with refuse collection and disposal, recycling and environmentally sound landfill management to meet the city's long-term disposal needs. |
