Diamond Achievement Commendation.

NAPA’s Diamond Commendation Program documents and recognizes the use of best practices for asphalt plant operations, terminal operations, asphalt production, and paving.

Earning a Diamond Commendation assures you and your partners that the company follows best practices proven to improve quality, safety, and excellence.

The self-assessment process helps companies benchmark their operations against a national standard, identify areas for improvement, and earn national recognition for their commitment to quality.

Applications for the Diamond Achievement, Diamond Achievement Sustainable, Diamond Terminal, Diamond Quality, and Diamond Paving commendations can be completed online through Nov. 15.

Comprehensively, these five commendations provide a blueprint for excellence in all aspects of the industry’s operations.


NAPA’s Environmental Leadership Award recognizes the best among NAPA members who have notched a new or full renewal Diamond Achievement Sustainable Commendation in the past three years. Gallagher Asphalt Corp.’s Thornton, Illinois facility won the designation for 2022.
