SEPTEMBER 9, 2013 | MEXICO
The printing facilities operated by Jehovah’s
Witnesses in Mexico received the Clean Enterprise certificate for the
seventh year in a row.
On September 26, 2012, the government of Mexico
awarded Jehovah’s Witnesses a special certificate of recognition “for
[their] dedication to the care and protection of the environment.”
The Clean Enterprise program helps industries
develop in ways that are safe for the environment. Jehovah’s Witnesses
participate in it every year, though theirs is a not-for-profit
organization. A spokesman for the Mexico printing facility said: “To
receive the Clean Enterprise certificate, we have to give evidence that
our procedures and emissions meet local environmental regulations in
seven areas: air, water, urban waste, hazardous waste, safety,
electrical energy, and environmental training. Industrial enterprises
are not obligated to subscribe to this program. We participate
voluntarily.”
Jehovah’s Witnesses around the world do all they can to avoid damaging earth’s precious environment.
