Every year, we recognize facilities that have made significant progress in health and safety through our S-W Cares EHS Awards.

Award recipients are selected based on criteria including injury performance, risk assessments, action plan closure, ergonomics improvements, spill performance, employee engagement, leadership, safe processing improvements, perception and culture, and social responsibilities. In 2022, 15 sites submitted presentations for consideration, and two were recognized with the awards:
