EPA seeks to establish Performance Track as the "gold standard" for facility based environmental performance - a standard that participating members strive to attain as they meet or exceed their performance goals. To encourage facilities to achieve environmental excellence through continuous improvement, EPA adds value to Performance Track membership in a variety of ways:
EPA Recognition - Performance Track recognizes member facilities locally and nationally through a membership certificate, listing on this website, and inclusion in trade journal feature articles.
Networking - Performance Track provides networking
opportunities to share best practices and other profitable information through Annual Member Events, regional
roundtables, teleseminars, EPA meetings, joint
workshops with Performance Track partners, and meetings
of the
Performance Track
Participants’ Association
.
Regulatory and Administrative Benefits - EPA works with states and other stakeholders to provide specific regulatory and administrative benefits, such as extending the hazardous waste accumulation period and expedited permitting.
A Single Point of Contact - EPA provides a single regional point of contact to Performance Track members for questions or concerns about their membership or for assistance with other EPA-related activities.
Services – EPA encourages Performance Track facilities to take advantage of services such as the Green Suppliers Network Review, which helps manufacturers and suppliers save money and improve environmental performance, or the Performance Track Mentoring Program, which matches Performance Track members or potential members with top-performing facilities currently in the program.
Green Investing - Leading financial advisory firms use Performance Track data in their research methods. This practice can benefit top-performing, publicly traded companies, making them more attractive to investors and increasing brand recognition.
