This award is presented to an organisation which is based in Ontario and which has made significant contributions to the field of "green" chemistry and engineering, including the technical, economic, human health and environmental benefits. According to Woodbridge, the company's involvement with "green" technologies dates back to its creation in 1978 and was identified as a key initiative, not only to address what the company saw as emerging customer and societal needs but also as an element of it's own business platform that recognises health, safety and environmental stewardship as being fundamental in all of it's activities.
