ationwide Marketing Group is proud to announce that it has
received the 2023 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year –
Sustained Excellence Award from the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy. This is the
9th year in a row that Nationwide has received the ENERGY STAR
Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence Award and the 16th year
the company has been recognized as an ENERGY STAR Partner of
the Year overall.
The Sustained Excellence Award is the highest honor bestowed
by the ENERGY STAR program. Winners are part of a distinguished
group that has made a long-term commitment to fighting climate
change and protecting public health through energy efficiency.
They are among the nation's leaders in driving value for the
environment, the economy and the American people.
"This is an honor that is a direct result of the attention and care
our members show to the ENERGY STAR program and their passion
to not only stock but also push their shoppers towards purchasing
those products that are ENERGY STAR Certified," says Frank
Sandtner, senior director of business and financial services for
Nationwide. "We have, for years, understood the importance of the
ENERGY STAR mission and their goal to promote a healthier,
greener planet. It's the buy-in from the rest of the independent
channel and Nationwide network that has helped us collectively
achieve this recognition."
Each year, the ENERGY STAR program honors a select group of
businesses and organizations that have made outstanding
contributions in the transition to a clean energy economy. ENERGY
STAR award winners lead their industries in the production, sale,
and adoption of energy-efficient products, homes, buildings,
services, and strategies. These efforts are essential to fighting the
climate crisis, protecting public health, and creating a clean energy
future for everyone.
"As we accelerate historic efforts to address climate change,
public-private partnerships will be essential to realizing the scale of
our ambition," says EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. "I applaud
this year's ENERGY STAR award winners for working with EPA to
deliver a clean energy future that saves American consumers and
businesses money and creates jobs."
Winners are selected from a network of thousands of
ENERGY STAR partners. For a complete list of
