EPA believes that Performance Track facilities stand apart from others by publicly committing to go beyond compliance to achieve environmental excellence through continuous improvement activities. To encourage this behavior in existing and potential future Performance Track members, 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 leading practices and other beneficial information through Annual Member Events, regional roundtables, teleseminars, EPA meetings, and joint workshops with Performance Track partners.
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 reviews of permit applications.
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 offers Performance Track facilities priority for a Green Suppliers Network Review, which helps manufacturers and suppliers save money and improve environmental performance. EPA also encourages facilities to take advantage of the Performance Track Mentoring Program, which matches Performance Track members or potential members with 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.
