Thursday, August 09, 2007 — 3E Company®, the leading provider of environmental health and safety (EH&S) compliance and information management services, today announced that it has received a 2007 Appreciation Award from the Academy of Certified Hazardous Materials Managers (ACHMM). The Award recognizes outstanding support by an outside entity in advancing the objectives of the Academy. 3E Company is the first and only EH&S information services company to ever receive the Award.

A distinguished panel of judges used the following criteria to determine the 2007 winner:

• Public acknowledgment and promotion of CHMM credential
• Significant support or contribution of services for Academy activities based on company size and/or number of individuals or events supported
• Sponsorship of events and activities that enhance the CHMM credential
• Support the activities of local chapter or national organization

3E Company was selected because of its ongoing support of the CHMM credential and its continuing dedication to the ACHMM and its events and activities. As a leading advocate of the CHMM credential, 3E Company encourages existing and potential employees to acquire and maintain certification. Additionally, since 2005, virtually all of 3E Company's free Web seminars have been approved for Certification Maintenance Points through the IHMM, so that CHMM can apply these points towards their certification requirements. 3E Company also recently sponsored one of the newest chapters of ACHMM, the Pacific Southwest chapter, which received its charter on September 24, 2005, and has an active and growing membership.

"As a strong advocate of both the ACHMM and the CHMM credential, we have enjoyed working with the ACHMM over the last few years to support and publicize their efforts," said Christopher Kraus, director, strategic accounts, 3E Company. "We appreciate the validation this prestigious award brings and look forward to continuing our productive relationship with the Academy in the years to come."

"3E Company was selected because of its tireless dedication to the ACHMM. Both the Academy and the hazardous materials management profession have benefited from 3E's continuing support, and we sincerely appreciate their outstanding efforts," said Jeff Rothwell, CHMM, ACHMM Awards Committee chair, ACHMM.

The award will be presented at the ACHMM Annual Conference to be held in Arlington, VA on August 12-15, 2007.
