JEFFERSON CITY, MO, AUG. 10, 2006 -- The Missouri Department of Natural Resources recognized Siegel-Robert Automotive by accepting its facilities in Farmington and Portageville as a Certified Partner into the Missouri Environmental Management Partnership.
The Missouri Environmental Management Partnership (MEMP) is an environmental leadership program of the department. MEMP promotes environmental excellence through voluntary environmental management systems (EMS) modeled after the international ISO 14001 standard. The department has designed the innovative program to recognize high-performing facilities.
An EMS is part of an overall management system that directs an organization to analyze, control and reduce the environmental impact of its activities, products and services, and operate with greater efficiency and control.
"Siegel-Robert Automotive has demonstrated its commitment to environmental excellence and leadership by implementing a rigorous environmental EMS," said Department of Natural Resources Director Doyle Childers. "MEMP is another example of how we can work cooperatively with the facilities the department regulates."
The department's goal for MEMP is to increase the number of facilities taking that extra step to address environmental issues within its business. The department is coordinating its MEMP efforts with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's version of the environmental leadership program, Performance Track.
For more information, contact the Division of Environmental Quality's Todd Crawford at 573-751-6892 or call the Department of Natural Resources toll-free at 800-361-4827.
