The Midlothian, Texas, plant was granted Corporate Lands for Learning (SM) certification for its wildlife habitat that offers experiential, interactive learning opportunities to youth, the community and wildlife professionals.

The Foreman, Arkansas, plant was granted Wildlife at Work recertification for its efforts to create, conserve and restore 2,000 acres of wildlife habitats, including hardwood forests, open fields, wetland, lakes, and ponds, working jointly with management, employees and members of the community. It was also recognised for its many environmental education programmes.
