EPA Honors NPMA and F&W Pest Control
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) and F&W Pest Control with its National Pesticide Program Partners Award. The award was given as a part of the EPA‘s Office of Pesticide Program’s first-ever Honor Awards ceremony, which aims to highlight the core values and principles of the EPA.
NPMA's GreenPro Certification Program
The National Pesticide Program Partners Award was the only award at the ceremony honoring an organization outside of the EPA. The award recognizes the work of NPMA’s GreenPro program, the largest green certification program for pest management professionals in the world.
“NPMA is honored to receive this award from the EPA in recognition of our GreenPro program,” said Bob Rosenberg, senior vice president for NPMA. “The EPA and NPMA share a commitment to the protection of public health and the environment, and NPMA’s GreenPro program is one way in which we strive to preserve our planet and increase consumer awareness for environmentally responsible initiatives.” NPMA’s GreenPro certification verifies to consumers that their pest management provider complies with many qualifications designed to ensure they receive eco-effective service.
The New England Pest Management Association would like to congratulate F&W Pest Control for obtaining this green certification
“In addition to receiving this award, GreenPro has also been recognized by organizations inside and outside the pest management industry, including the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and the National Center for Healthy Housing (NCHH) and is designed to satisfy the needs of green-conscious consumers like buildings seeking a LEED certification.”
We couldn’t be more proud to be a part of this distinguished GreenPro Certification program.
