State Programs | Performance Track Endorser Network | Federal Partners | Performance Track Participants' Association (PTPA)
A cornerstone of the Performance Track program is partnership, not only with participating facilities, but also with states, trade associations, and other EPA voluntary programs.
Performance Track
Participants' Association (PTPA)
The PTPA is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit organization that was
created to serve organizations participating, or
interested in, Performance Track. In general, the PTPA
provides a forum for corporations, trade associations,
and public entities involved in Performance Track to
engage in a positive dialogue with EPA, identify and
share best practices, and provide insights for increasing
incentives for participation. PTPA also provides
leadership in promoting more effective environmental
management, continuous improvement in environmental
performance, and greater public involvement through
Performance Track. For more information about the PTPA,
please visit the
Performance Track
Participants' website
or contact John Flatley, Executive Director at (202)
296-3952 or email at
jflatley@navista.net.
State Programs
EPA works closely with the States to promote Performance
Track and to identify the similarities between state
voluntary environmental performance programs and
Performance Track. If your facility is participating in a
state performance program, please visit the link above to
State Programs to view a comparison of the program
requirements.
Performance Track Endorser
Network
Since its inception, the Performance Track Endorser
Network has assisted EPA in promoting continuous
improvement, strong performance, and environmental
excellence by communicating program opportunities and
successes to interested constituencies. By partnering
with select trade associations, nongovernmental
organizations (NGOs), and professional organizations, EPA
enables strong environmental performers to learn about and
potentially participate in Performance Track. For more
information about our current Network partners, please

Federal Partners
Performance Track has established agreements with federal
agencies that share a common vision. These partnerships
allow agencies with similar goals of protecting the
environment and protecting public health to join forces
to accomplish agency-wide goals. Currently, Performance
Track has formed partnerships with the U.S. Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and U.S.
Department of Interior (DOI) to help federal agencies
fulfill the obligations outlined in Executive Order
13148.
EPA's Partners
for the Environment
EPA has many voluntary Partnership Programs, and it
encourages facilities that are participating in a
Partnership Program to document their achievements in
their Performance Track application. For more information

Partners for the
Environment website.
