The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently recognized Schering-Plough HealthCare Products, Cleveland, Tennessee, for being one of the first four pharmaceutical plants to earn the ENERGY STAR® designation from the EPA for ranking in the top 25 percent of energy performance nationwide. The Cleveland facility on average uses nearly 35 percent less energy than similar pharmaceutical plants across the country.

The EPA recognition demonstrates Schering-Plough's company-wide commitment to efficient energy usage and that colleagues at the plant understand the importance of using energy wisely and efficiently. Schering-Plough is one of many pharmaceutical companies working in partnership with the EPA to measure and benchmark their energy performance against others in the industry.
