    This coveted award recognizes current EPA Performance Track members who, in addition to being exemplary environmental stewards, make a special effort to inform the public about what it means to be a member of the Performance Track program. The award also recognizes members' efforts to reach out to and encourage other U.S. facilities to join Performance Track. A win-win relationship is created as more facilities come forward and commit to continuous environmental improvement. Through the Outreach Award, we seek to show our appreciation to members who continually work to strengthen Performance Track.
