Monument Houston Wins SOCMA Gold Performance Award

Monument Houston Wins SOCMA Gold Performance Award

INDIANAPOLIS – January 29, 2021 – The challenges of the past 12 months have reminded us (quite dramatically!) to take the time to celebrate the people, places, and experiences for which we are the most grateful. At Monument, the constant dedication of our team members to keeping our communities, our industry, and each other safe – particularly through the challenges of the pandemic – tops our list.

We are also incredibly grateful to the Society of Chemical Manufacturers & Affiliates® (SOCMA) for recognizing these efforts with a series of 2020 Performance Improvement Awards, which honor companies leading in the areas of environmental, health, safety and security (EHS&S). Monument recognitions included:

  • Gold Performance Improvement: Monument Houston
  • Educational Outreach Award – Monument Kentucky
  • Bronze Stakeholder Communications Award – Monument Baytown & Bayport (Pasadena)
  • Bronze Employee Training – Monument Baytown & Bayport (Pasadena)

A big part of our success last year was a commitment to open dialogue and sharing best practices, not only among our Monument team, but also with our peers, our customers, and the industry as a whole. In the spirit of that ongoing sharing – and as part of our efforts to celebrate these fantastic wins – we sat down as an EHS&S team to identify the biggest contributors to our success and improvements through 2020’s challenges.
