Recognized by the National Safety Council’s
Campbell Institute for excellence in environmental, health and
safety performance
USG Corporation (NYSE: USG), a leading manufacturer of
innovative building products and solutions, has received the
prestigious 2016 Robert W. Campbell Award for its outstanding
environmental, health and safety programs. The Campbell award is
presented annually by the National Safety Council to recognize
organizations that achieve excellence through the integration of
environmental, health and safety (EHS) management into business
operations. In the history of the award, USG is just the second
company to receive the Campbell Award as a first time
applicant.
“Our top priority is the safety and well-being of our people and
receiving the prestigious Robert W. Campbell Award is a reflection
of our continuous efforts to improve environmental, health and
safety programs,” said Jim Metcalf, Chairman, President, and CEO of
USG Corporation. “Our employees have embedded safety into
everything that they do, and their dedication to advancing our
environmental, health, safety and sustainability initiatives is a
key factor in our success. We engage employees at all levels of the
organization to create a safety-first culture, and as a result our
lost-time injury rate is 17 times better than industry
average.”
The Campbell Award, which celebrates best practices in EHS,
recognizes USG’s commitment to maintaining safe workplaces, and to
improving the environment and the communities in which employees
and customers live and work.
“USG truly has a culture of safety excellence,” said Deborah
A.P. Hersman, president and CEO of the National Safety Council.
“The company-wide dedication to safety is clear, and we are excited
to honor their commitment to saving lives and preventing
injuries.”
With this award, USG joins an elite group of organizations
recognized for making environmental, health and safety management a
cornerstone of corporate excellence. Established in 2004, the
Campbell Award is named for Robert W. Campbell, a safety pioneer
and the first president of the National Safety Council and
underwritten by the Exxon Mobil Corporation. Visit
