Since implementing SGP certification, we have seen many benefits such as a decrease in utilities and waste, as well as a positive impact to our community and employees both personally and professionally,” states Weyrich.

The facility has also received various awards as a participant in the St. Louis Regional Chamber Green Business Challenge in 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014.
