Universal Fibres has bagged award for environmental excellence and community impact by the Southwest Virginia Alliance of Manufacturers (SVAM). In an effort to strengthen its position as a world-leading region of advanced manufacturing, SVAM is a collaborative NGO dedicated to uniting institutions, workforce development boards with partnered manufacturers.
For nearly 50 years, Universal Fibers has taken great pride in its position as world leaders in sustainability. “More than our eco-processes in manufacturing and sustainable products, we believe true sustainability begins by ensuring safe practices and healthy environments for our dedicated Associates and local communities in which we live and serve,” said Ranae Anderson, Global Sustainability Leader. “We are thrilled to be recognised and wish to thank the SVAM for honoring Universal Fibres with these two very prestigious awards consistent with EnLIST, our four point commitment to environmental stewardship.”
