CHARLOTTE, N.C., Nov. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Albemarle
Corporation (NYSE: ALB), a leader in the global specialty chemicals
industry, announced today that its site in Kings Mountain, N.C., was recently recognized
by the Wildlife Habitat Council (WHC) for its excellence in
corporate conservation in the Pollinator Project category at the
2020 WHC Awards. This recognition demonstrates the company's
continued commitment to environmental stewardship.
Albemarle's Pollinator Project
Award follows the official WHC certification of the company's
Kings Mountain pollinator garden
earlier in the year. This award was received virtually at the 2020
WHC Awards held in early October. The WHC Awards honor excellence
in corporate conservation across national and international
companies spanning a variety of industry sectors.
"We are thrilled to receive recognition from WHC for the
continued care and focus that our team at Kings Mountain dedicates to a critically
important environmental effort," said John
Kuhn, Albemarle Environmental Manager. "This award from WHC
represents our positive results from the pollinator garden and our
commitment to Albemarle's
sustainability goals for the communities in which we work and
live."
The nearly 2,000 square-foot pollinator garden is situated atop
a rock pile Albemarle reclaimed
from previous lithium mining and is located within the 5-mile long
Kings Mountain Gateway Trail. The garden provides an enhanced
habitat for pollinators, particularly the monarch butterfly which
has recently seen a species decline. Albemarle planted a variety of
pollinator-friendly vegetation and monitors the garden's progress.
This is Albemarle's first project
to receive an annual WHC Award.
