When you think about the environment, you don’t necessarily correlate it to a car dealership, so you might be surprised to learn that Porsche Southpoint in Durham earned the Clean Auto Alliance, and Environment and Safety Elite designation, which means that Porsche Southpoint is dedicated not only to the health and safety of our employees, but also to our facility and the community around us.
Porsche Southpoint has met the demanding requirements in various categories and has, therefore, achieved the Clean Auto Alliance’s Standard of Excellence for environmental and safety practices in the automotive industry. Porsche Southpoint Service Manager Theresa Kramer stated, “This award comes to us with high honor and is due to the diligence of every team member to promote and advocate safety.”
To achieve this status Porsche had to reach six different categories: More information can be found at http://www.elitedealeraward.com/dealerinfo.html?accountld=13736&programld=2
1.) Safety Systems
2.) Environmental Systems
3.) Hazard Communication
4.) Loss Control
5.) Emergency Response
6.) Facility-Specific Requirements
According to elitedealerawar.com, the Environment and Safety Elite program sets the requirement of excellence for environmental and safety practices in the automotive industry. The program was created and sustained by the Clean Auto Alliance, which is a non-profit organization that brings together automotive-related businesses, manufacturers, government agencies, and dealerships to focus on environmental, safety, and transportation best practices through education, research, recognition, and associated activities.
Now, you are probably asking yourself, what does this information mean to me, the consumer? It can help bring awareness to care about the environment, according to Eric Schmitz, Board Chairman of the Clean Auto Alliance, “Consumers want to do business with companies that value safe environmental practices. Maintaining safe and environmentally sound dealerships isn’t only for your employees and the environment; it’s good for business too.” http://cleanautoalliance.org/ - news
