The National Environmental Performance Track is open to facilities of all types, sizes, and complexity, public or private, manufacturing or service-oriented.

Performance Track is designed to recognize facilities that consistently meet their legal requirements and have implemented high-quality environmental management systems. Performance Track encourages facilities to continuously improve their environmental performance and to work closely with their community and employees.

Once accepted, members remain in the program for three years, as long as they continue to meet the program criteria. After three years they may reapply. Facilities applying to Performance Track must have:

  • Environmental Management System in place for at least one full cycle that has been assessed by an independent party
  • History of sustained compliance
  • Past environmental achievement and commitment to continuous environmental improvement
  • Community outreach

Performance Track offers links to programs that support potential members in completing the application and meeting program criteria with Performance Track Assistance.
