Kamps, Inc. has been selected as a recipient of a John Deere supplier Sustainability award for 2025. The award is presented to a select group of suppliers globally who have demonstrated a strong performance in Sustainable processes, products, or operations.
The award selections are focused on three key areas – Emissions (GHG reductions projects), Product Circularity (Recyclability, Recycled materials, sustainable materials), and/or social improvement focus (Labor and Human Rights, Ethics, Corporate citizenship). John Deere created the supplier sustainability award in 2021 to promote sustainability in the company’s supply base and recognize suppliers for driving innovation and measurable action.
