EPA ENERGY STAR partner California Portland Cement Company (CPC) was awarded a top honor when it received the 2007 ENERGY STAR Award for Sustained Excellence – Energy Management. CPC has achieved impressive energy savings since 2003, when it instituted a corporation-wide energy program at the behest of its CEO. Key strategies in 2006 included investment in new energy-efficient plant technologies, wholesale employee energy education, and plant benchmarking of energy using the ENERGY STAR cement plant energy performance indicator. CPC was among the inaugural group of companies to receive the ENERGY STAR when two of its plants scored in the top quartile of energy use for cement plants nationally.
