The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is currently inviting the public to weigh in on the Green Tier contract renewal for Inpro Corporation. As a participant in this program, Inpro has committed to exceeding basic compliance, and its track record in environmental stewardship is up for continuation. The Green Tier initiative is the state's way of rewarding organizations that pledge to a higher standard of environmental responsibility, and Inpro, a Muskego-based architectural products manufacturer, seems to be walking the walk, as reported by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
Entering the Green Tier realm back in 2014, Inpro was a Tier 1 player until they vaulted to Tier 2 in 2020. This jump was largely due to their adoption of an ISO 14001-certified environmental management system, which seems to have served them—and the environment—well. The proof is in the pudding: a 72.2% reduction in waste and an ambitious march towards eliminating landfill waste altogether. To ensure they continue to responsibly tread, the proposed contract renewal aims to update the obligations and advantages that Inpro has under their belt, according to a release obtained by SFist from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
That same release clarifies that the renewal wouldn't let Inpro off the hook in any regulatory sense, meaning the DNR's watchful eye would remain firmly fixed on their compliance. It's a five-year extension, and if the public is keen to chime in, they've got until September 25. Comments can be directed towards Weston Wegener, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Business Support Coordinator, at [email protected] or by dialing 608-284-0908. Indeed, transparency remains a cornerstone of the Green Tier ethos.
