East Penn Manufacturing Co., Inc. was honored with the 2009 Cevallos Award for its exceptional commitment to the environmental health of the community and especially the children whom reside in it.

Recipients of the Cevallos Award must display a personal, public, and financial commitment to advancing children's environmental health issues and have proven themselves as an advocate for this cause.

East Penn's long-standing history of environmental protection and dedication to sustainability practices have led to achievements such as, a significant reduction in air emissions even with a substantial increase in production, a zero discharge wastewater treatment process, a patented system for the reclamation/reuse of sulfuric acid, third party certification to ISO14001:2004 Environmental Management System standards, Battery Recycling Center/Metals Division's STAR status in the OSHA Voluntary Protection Program, and the Governor’s Award for Environmental Excellence. These accomplishments, along with the company’s support to the Institute, the community, and specifically the commitment to children’s environmental health, were all factors in the Institutes selection and recognition of East Penn for the 2009 Cevallos Award.
