NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
The Linc Group, an ABM Industries (NYSE: ABM) company, is the winner of
an award that honors well-performing companies that use and promote
sustainable business practices. The Association for Corporate Growth
(ACG) Orange County Chapter presented its 2011 Green Award to The Linc
Group at the 16th Annual ACG Awards Event, held last month in
Newport Beach, California.
The Linc Group ("Linc") provides end-to-end integrated facility services
that improve operating efficiencies, reduce energy consumption and lower
overall operational costs of critical facilities, installations and
buildings in the government, commercial and residential markets. Linc
was acquired by ABM Industries on December 1, 2010.
"We were delighted that our focus on delivering sustainable services to
so many of our clients has been recognized — especially when that
recognition comes in the form of such a prestigious award from the
Association for Corporate Growth," said The Linc Group CEO and Chairman,
and now ABM Industries Executive Vice President, Tracy K. Price.
The Linc Group was one of five Orange Country-based companies to take
home an Association for Corporate Growth Award. ACG's award selection
committee chose the winners from more than 100 nominations.
Cary Booth Kaufman, ACG Awards Event Chairperson and Vice President of
Madison Square Partners said: "The Linc Group epitomizes the corporate
growth that ACG Orange County was founded upon, and this successful
Orange County business will grow even stronger with the acquisition by
ABM. The Linc Group also shines as the winner of our Green Award, which
honors a company that has done something unique in a product or service
that benefits our environment. The Linc Group's consistent innovation in
energy reduction and commitment to ‘Green and Clean' initiatives made
the company a wonderful choice for this year's winner."
Price said the business will continue to grow its sustainability
offerings.
Said Price: "We are deeply committed to the green and sustainable
building market, an area where we see enormous opportunity. This year we
will be expanding our bundled energy solutions and continuing to develop
energy-related technology innovations, always with a focus on cost
effective solutions that enable our clients to reduce their operating
expenses. We also expect to see continued expansion in GreenHomes®
America, our home performance contracting business that helps
residential customers reduce energy consumption and costs."
