STERLING FUELS RECOGNIZED FOR REDUCING CARBON FOOTPRINT
Sterling Fuels Limited was awarded $32,910 this week towards Union Gas’ energy conservation initiative.
Union Gas’ Project Manager for Market Development Engineering Services, Haris Ahmadzai, when presenting the cheque to Sterling’s President Peter Kelly noted that he was very pleased to work jointly with Sterling in creating these opportunities for energy conservation and cost savings.
“Initiatives such as these can save companies a lot of money, and we look forward to continuing a strong relationship with Union Gas,” says Kelly. “Sterling Fuels is one of Union Gas’ top 100 industrial users in southwestern Ontario. Over the years, we have invested heavily in environmental projects such as reducing energy consumption and our carbon footprint.”
Sterling has received numerable awards over the years for its commitment to environmental management. In 2010, the Essex Regional Conservation Authority recognized Sterling for its environmental initiatives during the dock construction project. The company has also received praise from Walpole Island First Nations for its environmental achievements and stewardship.
Additionally, Sterling has received Safety Kleen Awards for reducing greenhouse emissions and environmental programs, and past recognition from both Windsor Utilities and Union Gas for its GHG and Energy Reduction Programs. Sterling has also been recognized by Georgian Bay Forever, a Great Lakes environmental group protecting water and aquatic species.
“It is the hard work and dedication of Tony Zambito, maintenance manager and coordinator for the project, along with his team, that make these grants and awards to Sterling possible,” adds Kelly.
