Missouri Manufacturers Sustainability Certification Program (MMSCP)

Join the Missouri Manufacturers Sustainability Certification Program (MMSCP), sponsered by the Missouri Association of Manufacturers (MAM) and the Ozarks Environmental and Resources Institute (OEWRI) at Missouri State University. The program aims to assist Missouri manufacturers in enhancing their sustainability initiatives and gaining recognition for their efforts. Manages jointly by OEWRI and MAM, companies can participate by completing an industry-specific checklist on the programs's website. Those meeting the criteria will undergo an onsite assessment by OEWRI to validate their performance and receive improvement suggestions. OEWRI will continue collaborating with companies to support their sustainability program development. Eligible industries currently include Metal Fabrication and Machining, Aerospace, Automotive, and Food and Beverage, and Breweries, with places in incorporate more sectors in the future. 

There are two levels under the program:

  1. Certified ($500/yr) - those companies that completed the checklists and scored high enough for certification and verified by OEWRI.
  2. Apprentice ($250/yr) - those companies that completed the checklist but have not yet scored high enough for certification and continue to work on their program. 

Certified companies will be recognized on the website and at the annual MAM EHS conference. They will also be recognized in an annual report that summarizes the amount of water, water, energy, and operational costs achioved by participants. The summary will be published on the program website, MAM website, and OEWRI website.
