As a coatings company, we produce products that are designed to improve durability, increase productivity and add beauty, while reducing our environmental footprint and reducing our energy intensity rate. Sustainability is central to virtually everything we do. It is an important aspect of our corporate vision, and we firmly believe that many of our customers share this sentiment.
The Sustainable Star Awards are open to United States-based Axalta refinish customers. The Awards recognize body shops who have demonstrated the positive impact that sustainable initiatives can have on both the bottom line and the environment. There are two competition categories. The first category is for body shop owners who own one to five body shops. The second category is for body shop owners who own six or more shops.
“We know that many of our customers value sustainable practices and want to do their part to be environmentally-responsible,” said Mike Carr, Axalta President-North America. “Our Sustainable Star Awards program seeks to recognize shops that have put in place processes to improve their cycle times, cut their electrical bills by finding efficiencies, increased staff training hours, or have taken some other action that promotes sustainability.”
Award winners will win a trip for two in January 2017 to Axalta’s Sustainable Star Awards event, and can display the Axalta Sustainable Star Award logo in their shop, on their website and in promotional materials. Axalta will also profile the winners and their projects.
