Jun 19, 2008. /Lesprom.com/. Continuing its commitment to sustainable practices, Mohawk Fine Papers Inc. has again joined the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Climate Leaders program, successfully completing EPA base year reporting requirements. "EPA applauds Mohawk Fine Papers for joining the Climate Leaders program. We look forward to working with them to further reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and protect our environment," said Robert J. Meyers, Principal Deputy Assistant Administrator of EPA's Office of Air and Radiation. Mohawk joined the Climate Leaders program in February of 2007 with a pledge to inventory the reduction of its corporate-wide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. To remain a member of the Climate Leaders program, Mohawk submits an annual report of its emissions inventory data to EPA and must pass a required site visit evaluation. "As senior managers look for ways to build sustainable brands, increasingly they are turning to their supply chain. They want to know about the environmental integrity of products, but also about the companies behind those products," says Thomas O'Connor, Jr., Chairman and CEO, Mohawk Fine Papers. "The certification from EPA substantiates our contribution to greenhouse gas reduction."
