“The goal of the Environment & Safety Elite Award
is to reward automotive businesses that go above and beyond simply complying
with environmental, health and safety regulations,” said Eric Schmitz, board
chairman of the Clean Auto Alliance. “More and more often, consumers prefer to
do business with companies that value good environmental practices and the
safety of their employees, and this recognition program is a way for businesses
to show their customers and their community that they are committed to
exercising environmental, health and safety best practices. That’s a big
competitive advantage that these businesses deserve to have.”
Hendrick
Honda has been exemplary in meeting or exceeding environmental
health and safety regulations and standards. Their activities include
preserving their local environment by properly disposing of waste, minimizing
emissions, and utilizing Air Conditioning equipment that protects the ozone
layer. Additionally, they demonstrate their concern for their employee’s safety
and well-being by providing a safe environment.
This includes; maintaining a chemical inventory, training employees, providing
employee access to Safety Data Sheets and a written hazard communication plan.
“The award should mean a lot to the customers,”
Schmitz said. “Not only does it show that the dealer cares about their workers
and how the business effects its surroundings, but also that the client’s
investment will be protected, by ensuring each job is done safely and without
damage to the customer’s vehicle, or their community.”
