“In recognition of the company's initiative and the team's effort to conserve water and reduce landfill waste and operating costs at its Calvert City plant, we are pleased to present Wacker Chemical Corporation with a GE ecomagination Leadership Award,” said Jeff Fulgham, chief sustainability officer and ecomagination leader for GE Power & Water. “By utilizing GE's advanced wastewater technology and proven expertise, Wacker has been able to meet its environmental and operational objectives.”
GE's ecomagination commitment is both a business strategy for growth at GE and a promise to contribute positively to the environment in the process. As part of that commitment, GE has committed to reducing the company's freshwater consumption by 25 percent by the year 2015. That is one of the world's most aggressive corporate water targets to date, and it is expected to free up 7.4 million cubic meters (2 billion gallons) of fresh water a year—enough water to fill more than 3,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
