Holcim (US) Inc announced that its Ste. Genevieve plant in Missouri has earned the US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ENERGY STAR for the second consecutive year.

"It is very fulfilling to see Holcim’s commitment to protecting the environment recognized with this prestigious award two years in a row," said John Todd, Holcim Ste Genevieve plant manager. "I want to thank all Holcim employees for their motivation and hard work that drive our successful sustainability efforts."

In addition to Ste Genevieve, three other Holcim plants were named: the Holly Hill plant in Holly Hill, SC, the Portland plant in Florence, CO and Devil’s Slide in Morgan, UT. Like Ste. Genevieve, Holcim’s Holly Hill plant received its second ENERGY STAR; the Portland plant was awarded for the first time, and Devil’s Slide in Morgan, UT received its fourth consecutive award.

The ENERGY STAR is the national symbol for protecting the environment through superior energy performance.
