ABOUT THE PROGRAM
HOW THE ENVIRONMENTAL RESPECT AWARDS PROGRAM WORKS Farm supply retailers from the U.S. and specified regions around the world visit
EnvironmentalRespect.com and use the online entry process to conduct an audit of their own busi- nesses, answering questions about their facility and their commitment to environmental stewardship, safety, security and critical material handling and storage. Entrants upload supporting photos and documentation for independent, confidential review and judging by a panel that includes members of Meister Media’s editorial and business teams, DuPont’s stewardship leadership, and representa- tives from various agriculture associations, organizations and related businesses.
This year, 13 operations from four regions (North America, Latin America, Asia/Pacific and Europe/Middle East/Africa) and one Spirit of Respect winner are honored in July at a four-day event in Wilmington, DE.
The Celebration week culminates in the unveiling of the Ambassadors of Respect, one from each of the four regions.
