GOODWILL KEYSTONE RECEIVES SUSTAINABILITY CHAMPION AWARD

HARRISBURG, Pa. – Goodwill Industries International has recognized Goodwill Keystone with its Sustainability Champion Award, honoring the organization’s teamwide commitment to environmental stewardship and innovation. The award, selected from 153 Goodwill organizations internationally, reflects the collective efforts of Goodwill Keystone employees to drive sustainability through strategic initiatives and daily operations.

“This prestigious recognition belongs to our entire team,” said Edward J. Lada Jr., president and CEO of Goodwill Keystone. “Sustainability is at the core of what we do, and it takes the dedication of every employee—whether in mission, retail, logistics, or operations—to make a lasting impact. Together, we are transforming donations into opportunity while reducing waste and protecting the environment.”

In 2024 alone, Goodwill Keystone employees helped divert 3.3 million pounds of materials from landfills, collect 1.4 million pounds of e-waste, and process 45 million pounds of donated goods. The team also implemented strategy to increase wages, expanded reverse logistics strategies, and launched free e-waste recycling across 42 stores in 22 counties, creating more opportunities for reuse and responsible disposal.

The organization’s sustainability achievements have earned state, international, and industry recognition, including the William M. Heenan, Jr. Recycling Markets Development Award and the 2025 Circular Economy Award from the Reverse Logistics Association.
