The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) recently presented the 2011 Evergreen Award to Jasper Group. This honor was bestowed upon Jasper Group at the Ronald Regan Building in Washington, D.C. The annual award recognizes efforts of companies whose business practices prioritize the environment. Jasper Group exceeded the competition within the Furniture Group with its proactive efforts in recycling, armative procurement and waste prevention.

“Jasper Group set an example for other GSA business partners, and I am proud to announce this achievement,” said Kathy Vonderheide, Contract Administrator for Jasper Group. “I want to thank all of the employees of Jasper Group for supporting our continued efforts to ‘do the right thing’. We are extremely proud to be the only recipient of this award within the Southern Indiana region.”

In true sustainable form, the Evergreen Award itself is made from recycled glass. This award sets a high standard for other business partners to follow, and is a wonderful example of how the federal government and businesses can work together. Jasper Group remains committed to building partnerships that provide services and products that are environmentally sensitive and demonstrateleadership in sustainability.
