At Greenup Industries, we pride ourselves in an unrelenting dedication to quality and innovation. These two markers of success are by-products of a company culture that re-invests time and financial resources into improving the character of our industry, team, and client base.
One of our strategies for success is recognizing that at the heart of innovation is our talented team. To get ideal results, we try to lead every new project with a play to passion. Workplace studies conducted in recent years have revealed almost 70% of employees in the United States do not associate positive feelings with their work. We understand that our work and company culture is the motor for a successful business. One of our priorities is to ensure that the simple principle of "satisfied and driven staff equals a quality product" is visible in our products and services.
In addition to stirring up innovation in our employees, Greenup Industries also conducts a proactive approach to consumer confidence. We value our client's opinions as to how to improve our services. By proactively engaging with our clients, we can increase efficiency by being one step ahead of solving any issues that would warrant future industry reforms or similar moves. One of the ways we do this is through our proprietary software, the Greenup Tracker, a multi-use platform designed to increase efficiency and capability for both our clients and vendors.
We prove that dedication to culture and character of quality leads to industry-wide recognition and overall success through these two approaches. We approach problem-solving with the attitude that while our accolades speak to quality, we must sustain that quality. Over the years, we have been the proud recipients of several awards, including the 2019 Emerging Growth Company Award from ACG, the 2018 Gold Medal Award from Shell/Norco, and the 2017 Specialities Services Award for Outstanding Safety Performance from the Gulf South Safety Council, to name a few. While this undoubtedly helps establish an air of quality and sound innovation, we are dedicated to continually increasing our quality level by investing resources in the company's culture and character. We think that's only fair before the opportunities to continue to do well in the future head our way.
