The DOI's Environmental Achievement Award recognizes Doyon/ARAMARK, a joint venture between Doyon Limited, one of 13 Native regional corporations, and ARAMARK for its environmental management programs at Denali National Park and Preserve. Doyon/ARAMARK has implemented an environmental management system that includes recycling, sustainable cuisine, an environmentally preferable purchasing policy, energy and resource conservation, solid waste reduction and reduced harmful emissions.
