The award specifically recognized BIW for two key accomplishments. First was our efforts at mentoring small businesses. Noting that mentoring is a commitment laid out in our STEP-UP agreement, it was stated that BIW “exceeded its agreement in mentoring Maine boat builders with environmental management and pollution prevention issues”, and that our “mentoring efforts with other boat builders has been truly exceptional.”
The second area of recognition was for meeting our solid waste (10%) and hazardous waste (16%) reduction commitments at our 3 manufacturing facilities. It was stated that BIW is “committed to improving its business practices to protect the environment, and it also inspires other businesses to seek improvements in their own environmental practices.”
