Oil Patch Bits: Lynden companies receive Green Star award

The Lynden family of companies said April 10 that it was recently presented with a Green Star award for environmental programs in Alaska. The nonprofit Green Star organization encourages businesses to practice waste reduction, energy conservation and pollution prevention through education and the voluntary “green business” certification program.

Lynden’s award will be officially presented next month at an Anchorage Chamber of Commerce meeting.

“Green Star is Alaska’s leading organization recognizing waste reduction, energy conservation and pollution prevention,” said Jon Burdick, Lynden president. “Lynden has always been ‘green,’ working toward leaner, more productive and efficient ways of serving our customers, and we’re pleased to receive this award.”

Lynden said it strives to operate in the most efficient manner with the highest regard for the health and safety of its employees and protection of the environment, while helping its customers solve a variety of transportation problems.
