Six Hoosier organizations have named recipients of the Governor’s Awards for Environmental Excellence. The state’s top environmental award honors organizations taking steps to help protect the environment.

Indiana Department of Environmental Management Commissioner Bruno Pigott virtually presented the awards during the 23rd annual Pollution Prevention Conference and Tradeshow. The governor’s office says the award is an annual program to recognize Indiana’s leaders who have identified and implemented innovative environmental practices into their programs and facilities.

“Our 2020 Governor’s Award winners have made great strides in improving Indiana’s environment,” said Pigott. “By using innovative environmental practices, they have reduced waste, saved money, and contributed greatly to environmental protection efforts for Hoosiers.”
