Kentucky Excellence in Environmental Leadership (KY EXCEL)

As a Kentucky-based company, Humana is proud to be part of the KY EXCEL program, which we joined in November 2006. The program is not a regulatory approach. Instead, the Kentucky Department of Environmental Protection works with Kentuckians to recognize and reward voluntary efforts. The goal is to support a process that allows participants to increase their environmental commitment and reduce their environmental footprint.

The mission of KY EXCEL is to promote voluntary environmental projects. Each member conducts one or more projects a year, depending on membership level.
