Recognizing California Businesses that Demonstrate
Leadership in Product Stewardship
Introduction
The California Product Stewardship Council recognizes businesses that are based in or operate in California for outstanding leadership, innovation and partnerships in product stewardship and green design. This awards program is different from other business awards because it focuses on actions that directly help integrate producer responsibility into California commerce; whereas other award programs use multiple environmental criteria with only a reference to product stewardship.
The goals of this program are to recognize the accomplishments of businesses with innovative product stewardship  programs, outstanding partnerships that make product stewardship possible, and to inspire others to integrate the principles of product stewardship into their business.
Eligibility
Any business entity, division or facility located in California is eligible to apply. Third party stewardship organizations and non-profits are also eligible.
Benefits

Receive the recognition your company or organization deserves for outstanding leadership.

Inspire Others
Inspire others to make product stewardship an integral part of California business.
