[USA] “U.S. Department of Energy and National Association of Manufacturers Announce Sustainability in Manufacturing Partnership”

[DOE, 10 April 2018]

The Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), have announced their new partnership, “Sustainability in Manufacturing Partnership,” to encourage U.S. manufacturers to implement energy productivity, efficiency improvements and new technologies. Regarding the partnership, Rick Perry stated, “Working alongside our private sector partners, we are driving cost savings and a stronger, more secure U.S. industrial base.” NAM CEO and President Jay Timmons added that this partnership will be another example of the Trump Administration’s ability to prioritize both industry and the environment- without sacrificing one for the other: “Manufacturers accept the responsibility to better the future of our communities, our environment and our children, which is why over the past decade, we have reduced emissions by 10 percent even as our value to the economy has increased 19 percent.”
