In keeping with NNSA’s commitment to improving the way it does business, being more efficient with energy and water resources, while being responsible to the environment, NNSA today congratulated its sites and labs for receiving the 2012 DOE Sustainability Awards.
Department of Energy Deputy Secretary Daniel Poneman said that sustainability award winners are leading by example, showing what’s possible when employees bring creativity, innovation, and dedication to their efforts to make DOE more sustainable.
In addition to NNSA improving its way of doing business through sustainability, benefits accrue to efforts not typically thought of as sustainability related, such as improving safety and health and saving money.
