CertainTeed Corporation, through its parent company Saint-Gobain, is sharing top honors for its outstanding contributions to protecting the environment through energy efficiency. Following a two-year run as an ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year, the company received the 2011 ENERGY STAR Sustained Excellence Award, the highest level of recognition from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
