On March 27, 2008 Dapco Industries received the Clean Corporate Citizens Longevity Award during a ceremony in Lansing Michigan. The award was presented by the Department of Environmental Quality Director Steven E Chester. This award was given to 11 Michigan facilities for maintaining their Clean Corporate Citizens (C3) status for more than five years. On November 20, 2002 DAPCO Industries became Michigan’s 53rd Clean Corporate Citizen and have continued to meet the requirements for the past five years.

The Clean Corporate Citizen program is a voluntary incentive program that recognizes Michigan’s top environmental performers. To earn Clean Corporate Citizen status a company must implement a facility specific environment management system that sets targets and objectives for continuous environmental development, adopt an active pollution prevention program that focuses on reduce-reuse-recycle, and have a consistent record of compliance with applicable state and federal environmental requirements. Through this program DAPCO Industries management and employees have been able to express their concern for the environment, and are helping to set an example for all Michigan companies on how to successfully integrate environmental efforts into everyday business operations. DAPCO Industries participation in the Clean Corporate Citizens program demonstrates that focusing on environmental management and pollution prevention goes hand-in-hand with a successful business strategy.
