MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) today announced that Fincantieri ACE Marine (FAM) was accepted into Tier 1 of the Green Tier program.

Tier 1 of Green Tier encourages, recognizes and rewards companies committed to superior environmental performance. As a Tier 1 participant, FAM will undertake the development and implementation of an environmental management system within the coming year.
“In 2022, FAM became the first Wisconsin company to join Green Marine, a voluntary environmental certification program for North American maritime businesses. The DNR warmly welcomes FAM into the Wisconsin’s Green Tier program in January 2025 and looks forward to partnering with them going forward,” said Connie Antonuk, DNR Secretary’s Director for Northeast Wisconsin. “FAM demonstrates leadership and commitment to the environment by joining Green Tier. We look forward to working with FAM to leverage the economic and environmental benefits of their environmental management system and further reduce their footprint.”
