About the Program

The MMSCP is an ongoing program designed to help companies continually improve their sustainability efforts and initiatives. Companies that complete the online checklist for their industry will receive an onsite assessment by OEWRI to verify their performance and provide recommendations for improvement. MAM will recognize companies that score high enough on their performance as a Missouri sustainable manufacturer.

​

The OEWRI team, along with sponsors of the MMSCP, will continually offer guidance and services to participating companies to support their sustainability program development and improve their scores.
