5.4: Motivate

Investing Energy Savings in Local Communities

Allergan motivates employees in their facilities through an internal Environmental Acheivements Awards program.  This program recognizes employees and employee teams who have taken extraordinary energy and environmental actions.  Employees are honored at special events, and winners choose a local environmental group that will receive a corporate donation.   The Environmental Health & Safety Department budget finances these awards and the charitable gift.  For example, in 2010 teams from Allergan facilities were recognized for energy efficiency and water reduction. Donations were made to local environmental initiatives in Allergan's name and gained further recognition from the community. Allergan Ireland was able to create a competition amongst local three schools in which the school with the best performance received an energy evaluation and expertise from the Allergan facilities crew to find and implement energy efficiency at their school. The school was so ecstatic with the outcome that the other schools also volunteered to participate and Allergan completed these assessments and upgrades for all three schools. The program has expanded to water and waste reduction opportunities as well.
