The Governor's Awards for Environmental Excellence are Indiana’s most prestigious environmental recognition awards. They are reserved for the most innovative, sustainable, and exemplary programs or projects that positively impact Indiana’s environment and demonstrate measurable environmental, economic, and social benefits. The selection process is highly competitive.
"It’s rare to have multiple awards for a single category, so I am especially proud of this year’s recipients and their dedication to bringing Indiana to the Next Level by creating solutions that impact the quality of life in their communities. Their work forever stands as a true testament to the spirit of Hoosier innovation," said Indiana Governor Eric J. Holcomb.
The awards were presented as part of Pollution Prevention Week in Indiana.
