CHICAGO, 2015-4-27 — /Travel PR News/ — Today, the Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) presented an award for sustainability to The Grove, Inc. (TGI) for its commitment to sustainability at O’Hare International Airport.
The event highlighted TGI’s achievement of the highest level of certification under the CDA Sustainable Airport Manual(SAM) Concession & Tenants – Operation & Maintenance (CT-OM) chapter. TGI accepted the ‘Mentor’ award this morning at its ‘Fresh Market On The Go’ venue in Terminal 1 at O’Hare.
Participating in the ceremony were CDA representatives from Concessions and Environment, as well as members of the Sustainable Review Panel, who are tasked with reviewing the SAM submittals. Although this is the second ‘Mentor’ award under CT-OM since the inception of SAM, this award is the first presented to the ‘Kiosk’ tenant type, demonstrating that small-location tenants can also achieve the highest level of SAM certification and have a significant impact on sustainability while supporting the CDA’s Green Concessions Policy.
“TGI is committed to being a part of the CDA Green Concessions Program that makes such a large contribution in reducing our collective environmental impact,” said Michelle Dukler, President & CEO, The Grove, Inc. “It’s very important for everyone on the TGI team to achieve and maintain mentor status. It’s a great feeling to be part of a large effort towards making a positive and lasting contribution to environmental sustainability.”
