Internal Awards
External Awards | Internal Awards
Ingersoll Rand has several types of internal awards — environmental, safety, and health achievement and innovation. The awards program encourages innovation, continuous improvement, and good management behavior that aligns EHS with the company’s overall strategic goals.
The environmental awards recognize facilities that have demonstrated superior environmental performance, continuous environmental improvement, and innovations in environmental engineering and management. The safety and health awards also emphasize implementing management systems and best practices that maintain an injury-free workplace. The awards go a step beyond OSHA guidelines, which focus only on injury rates and collect data only within the United States.
The EHS awards program is open to all non-office sites around the world, including manufacturing facilities, service centers, and warehouse/distribution sites. There are three awards categories: achievement, innovation, and facility of the year. To be nominated in the achievement and innovation categories, sites have to demonstrate that their practices improved workplace environmental or safety and health conditions. Only facilities earning accolades in both the achievement and innovation categories can be placed in the running for the top facility of the year award. In addition, the facility of the year must earn external third-party recognition for its practices.
Ingersoll Rand also recognizes our business units with quarterly President’s Awards, which typically include sustainability-related awards. At the end of the year, President’s Award winners can be nominated for the Chairman’s award, the highest level of internal recognition.
