CARDONE INDUSTRIES awarded
the 2007 Governor’s Award for Environmental Excellence
Philadelphia, PA, April 10,
2007/ CARDONE Industries, a worldwide leader in remanufactured and new
automotive parts, was awarded the
2007 Governor’s Award for Environmental Excellence. CARDONE was recognized for
exceptional strides in its efforts to protect the environment. In June 2006,
CARDONE installed Auxiliary Power Units on 23 of its long-haul
tractors. An annual net savings of 12,000 idling hours, which the company
expects to meet or exceed, means a savings of 9,600 gallons ($28,128 @ 2.93/gal)
of fuel with a nitrogen-oxides-emission reduction of 3,703 pounds and a carbon
dioxide reduction of 216,931 pounds per year. The Governor’s Award for
Environmental Excellence honors Pennsylvania businesses and organizations that
put in place projects that tackle environmental problems and help build new
businesses, enhance the bottom line and engage residents in a renewed commitment
to investing in their communities. In February 2004, the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) accepted CARDONE for membership to the EPA’s National
Environmental Performance Track Program. Performance Track rewards companies
that voluntarily exceed regulatory requirements, implement environmental
management systems, work closely with their communities, and set three-year
goals to continuously improve environmental performance. CARDONE has remained
ISO 14001 certified since January 2001. ISO 14001 is an environmental management
system.
CARDONE is a leading
supplier of automotive products, including a full line of brakes, drivetrain,
electrical, electronics, motors, pumps, and steering. For more information,
