GF Environmental Leadership Award
 

1. Environmental Leadership Awards Nomination Form

 
The pressure to go green is on. It’s about reducing emissions, conserving fuel, and reducing a fleet's carbon footprint to contribute to a cleaner environment. “Greening” a fleet will improve its impact on the environment by reducing emissions and fuel consumption, and the Environmental Leaders of the fleet industry are very aware.

Government Fleet magazine wants to honor fleet managers with its second annual “Fleet Environmental Leadership” awards. The presentation and ceremony will take place at the 2010 Green Fleet Conference Oct. 18-19, in San Diego.

Have you been working with your fleet to reduce emissions, employ alternative-fuel technology, or perform other “greening” efforts?

If so, take a moment to fill out the nomination form for the First Annual “Fleet Environmental Leadership” Award and see where you stack up against the competition.

Note: If you are a Commercial Fleet, please fill out the survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2010_AF_ELA.
