But worldwide, the company also strives for <br />excellence in environmental, health, and safety <br />standards, while upholding its values of reliability, <br />integrity, and innovation. As part of its early and <br />ongoing commitment to the environment, Rolls-Royce <br />partnered with Granger Energy, LLC, who earned <br />LMOP's Industry Partner of the Year award in 2001. <br />ganger approacnea Koss-KOyce about using surplus <br />landfill gas (LFG) from the South Side Landfill to fuel <br />the manufacturing plant. In 1999, Rolls-Royce signed a partnership agreement with <br />Granger, who is the project developer, gas lessor, and project co-owner. Granger supplies <br />LFG to the boilers, which produce steam to support the company's aircraft engine <br />manufacturing operation. <br />Granger's and Rolls-Royce's success includes the following: <br />• Since 1989, Granger has provided LFG to the 6-acre Crossroads Greenhouse, the <br />http://www.epa.gov/landfill/proj/prof/profile/grangerenergyandro)lsroyc.htm 6/8/2009 <br />
