2025 Calvin Frost Sustainability Awards Highlight: Amherst Label
The Calvin Frost Sustainability Awards recognize companies making meaningful strides toward a more sustainable future. These awards are presented in three categories, each reflecting a different point on the sustainability journey.
The Journey Award celebrates companies that have moved beyond planning and are actively implementing actions to achieve long-term sustainability goals. Judges look for measurable progress and meaningful impact.
This year’s Journey Converter winner, Amherst Label, has excelled in reducing waste to landfill, increasing recycling, and decreasing water use. Through an innovative partnership, they doubled the collection of PET liner to be recycled last year to nearly 22,000 pounds, and they’ve added over 300 solar panels to generate renewable energy. Their weekly sustainability-focused lunch and learns— “Summer Salad Days” and “Soup Days” in winter—have become part of their company culture. As the judges said, “they know where the rubber meets the road.”
