CalPortland earns award for protecting the environment through superior energy efficiency!
Glendora, CA March 31, 2020 - CalPortland® is proud to announce that it has been awarded the 2020 ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year Sustained Excellence Award for continued leadership and superior contributions to ENERGY STAR by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy. 
“CalPortland is proud to receive the 2020 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Sustained Excellence Award,” said CalPortland President/CEO Allen Hamblen. “Finding new and innovative solutions to create energy efficiencies has become an integral part of our company culture and we are honored to celebrate our employees’ ongoing efforts by achieving this tremendous award for the 16th consecutive year. CalPortland remains committed to reducing emissions and reducing our company’s environmental footprint by contributing to the circular economy.”
“I salute the 2020 ENERGY STAR award winners,” said Anne Idsal, EPA Principal Deputy Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation. “These leaders demonstrate how energy efficiency drives economic competitiveness in tandem with environmental protection.”
The highest honor among ENERGY STAR Awards is the ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year - Sustained Excellence Award.
