Each year, exceptional performances in environmental, health, safety and security by companies in Ohio’s chemical industry are recognized by the Ohio Chemistry Technology Council (OCTC) through our Awards for Excellence. Nominations for awards are now open and will remain open until February 6, 2026.
Awards for Excellence Presentation
OCTC is excited to announce that the 2026 Awards for Excellence will be presented in-person at our awards dinner on Monday, May 18th, 2026 in conjunction with our 37th Annual Conference. The dinner will be attended by government, industry, and community leaders. Statewide publicity will be given to award recipients. Award recipients will be encouraged to invite community leaders, community advisory panel members, and employees involved in the award-winning activities.
Activities and Programs Eligible for Nomination
Each facility of a member company may submit a nomination on its own behalf. In addition to demonstrating commitment and achievement in protecting people and the environment, a nomination must focus on a program or activity the company believes represents excellence in environmental, health, safety or security performance. All nominations should be for activities in the 2025 calendar year.
Eagle Award for Excellence
In addition, OCTC will present the Eagle Award for Excellence in Environmental, Health, Safety & Security Performance. This award will be presented to the award recipient whose performance is judged exemplary among the group of distinguished Excellence Award recipients. Our panel of judges will identify one award recipient that stands out for its scope, implementation, impact and sustainability.
