  How To Complete The Self-eValuation Online Entry

An accurate and honest evaluation of your operation is necessary if you are to be considered for the Environmental Respect Award. All information you provide in this entry booklet will be kept confidential throughout the judging process. To complete your entry, follow these steps.

1. Answer all questions in the confidential self-audit.
For each question check the box that best describes your operation. Check the "N/A" ("Not Applicable") response only in the following situations:
  • Your company does not handle the product referred to in the question. For example, if you do not handle dry fertilizer, you would check "N/A" for questions that refer to dry fertilizer handling and storage.
  • The question references a condition, procedure or physical attribute that does not apply to your facility. For example, if your water comes from a municipal water supply, you would check "N/A" for questions that refer to wellhead protection.
  • All unanswered questions are counted as a "no" response, which could have a negative impact on your overall evaluation.
2. Supply photos and supporting material important to your entry.
In the final selection process added emphasis is placed on the supporting material you include with your entry. Photos do make a difference!
  • Attach photos and supporting evidence representing only the facility or outlet indicated in the applicant information section. One outlet per entry will be accepted.
  • Include any printed material you want to use as supporting evidence. Printed material may be newspaper and magazine articles about your business, material used to communicate with and educate your community or emergency response plans or facility maps. Please limit this material to 10 pages maximum.
3. Write your personal views on environmental respect and its impact on your business
(Section M)
These comments are very important during the judging process.

4. Complete the applicant and DuPont representative information. (Section N)
