Matt Jennings, President and CEO of Phillips-Medisize Corp. said, “Sustainability is very important to all of us at Phillips-Medisize. Our company has a long history of environmental awareness and as such, we have dedicated both time and resources to assure all of our facilities, globally, take our ecological responsibilities seriously. I am very proud of our employees around the world for their significant efforts in the development and execution of our sustainability programs.”Phillips-Medisize has announced that its Design Development Center, located in Hudson, Wisconsin, USA, has been recognised by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for its environmental excellence, making that facility part of their Green Tier Program. Phillips-Medisize has been a long-standing participant of the Green Tier program since 2008, and now, all of its facilities located in Wisconsin hold this distinction. Under the Green Tier program – one of Wisconsin’s flagship environmental performance programs – companies work hand-in hand with the DNR and voluntarily commit to environmental performance standards that go beyond regulatory compliance.
Through the Green Tier Program, Phillips-Medisize will continue to work with the DNR in upholding the highest standards of sustainability while continuing to achieve specific waste and energy reduction goals, as well as, recycling and technological innovations for environmental protection. “Phillips-Medisize is a shining example of corporate responsibility in the area of sustainability and we are proud to welcome their Hudson facility into the Green Tier Program,” said DNR Secretary Cathy Stepp.

For example, in 2009 and 2012 the company received the Wisconsin Business Friend of the Environment Award; in 2011 it received the Xcel Energy Environmental Excellence Award and has been awarded the distinction of “Green Master” since 2010.
