WASHINGTON, DC-- The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency's Design For Environment program awarded the Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE: PG) its highest level of recognition, Champion, for P&G's work in developing safer detergents under the Safer Detergents Stewardship Initiative (SDSI).
The Champion Level is the highest award given by the EPA's Design for Environment (DfE) group, through its Safer Detergent Stewardship Initiative. DfE works in partnership with a broad range of stakeholders to reduce risk to people and the environment by preventing pollution. DfE focuses on industries that combine the potential for chemical risk reduction and improvements in energy efficiency with a strong motivation to make lasting, positive changes.
The Safer Detergent Stewardship Initiative recognizes corporate environmental leaders who voluntarily commit to the use of safer detergent surfactants. Surfactants enable the cleaning agents in detergents to get at grease and soils. Safer surfactants are those that break down quickly into non-polluting compounds. This helps protect aquatic life in both salt and fresh water.
