IDEM Welcomes Kimball Hospitality to the Environmental Stewardship Program

INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) has welcomed two new members to the Environmental Stewardship Program (ESP). They join 55 other ESP businesses, each of which is committed to implementing or maintaining measurable environmental improvements such as reducing water or energy use, decreasing solid or hazardous waste, or reducing air emissions. To be accepted into ESP, each of these facilities has maintained a standard of environmental compliance, developed and implemented an environmental management system (ISO 14001 certified), and committed to report on their environmental initiatives every year. They may reapply for membership every four years. 

Kimball Hospitality - Jasper 16th Street, a division of Kimball International Inc, is located in Jasper, and specializes in the manufacture of hospitality and health care furniture. Environmental improvement projects align with the larger corporate goals of reducing energy consumption, VOC emissions, and waste through a corporate wide facility optimization within finishing and machining operations/processes.
