Safer Choice is a voluntary EPA program that certifies cleaning products and other products made with ingredients that are safer for people, pets, and the planet. EPA developed the Partner of the Year Awards to recognize partners and stakeholders who have advanced the safer chemistry and safer products goals of the Safer Choice program. Recipients have demonstrated active and exemplary participation in the design, manufacture, selection and use of products with safer chemicals.
"We thank EPA and Safer Choice for recognizing the leadership of our member companies, working together with the ISSA, in creating a healthier and cleaner planet," added ISSA Executive Director John Barrett. "Sustainable cleaning and reducing the environmental footprint of the global cleaning industry remains a priority for ISSA and our industry."
