MEDIA ADVISORY: DEEP, OPM, and DAS Hold Annual GreenerGov Awards Nov. 10
(HARTFORD) — Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP), Office of Policy and Management (OPM), and Department of Administrative Services (DAS) will recognize outstanding sustainability efforts by state agencies and staff at the annual GreenerGov Awards Ceremony on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.
In April of 2019, Governor Ned Lamont launched the GreenerGov CT initiative by signing Executive Order 1, challenging Executive Branch agencies to lead by example and advance environmental leadership, generate cost savings for taxpayers, and help meet Connecticut’s climate goals. In fact, Connecticut has already achieved its 2030 GreenerGov greenhouse gas reduction goal.
The awards in seven categories demonstrate how coordinated planning, data-driven decision making, and strong partnerships can help achieve significant emissions reductions while generating millions of dollars in utility savings. Specific details of the projects and initiatives will be shared at the ceremony.
Who: Governor Lamont, Acting DEEP Commissioner Emma Cimino, DAS Commissioner Michelle Gilman, and OPM Secretary Joshua Wojcik, state agency awardees, local and state officials
What: Awards to state agencies and workers for programs reducing environmental impacts and costs to taxpayers.
When: Tuesday, November 10, 2026, 2:00-3:00 p.m.
Where: North Lobby, State Capitol, 210 Capitol Avenue, Hartford CT 06106
