The Green-Star Program of the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association recognizes those who adhere to essential principals of the environmental and sustainability movement of the concrete industry. Bode was awarded this honor in 2008, the first facility to do so in California.

"This is another example of Bode Concrete's commitment to the environment," said NRMCA Senior Vice President Gary Mullings. "It is especially impressive to look how Bode installed a 450,000 gallon stormwater retention system; the stormwater is then used to batch concrete."

"Bode Concrete is quite proud of leading the Industry on the West Coast with respect to being Environmentally Excellent. With having built a very large concrete plant on the water in San Francisco recently, we have had the bar set higher than most. We intend to continue that practice in everything we do for the betterment of the Environment, our Customers and our Neighbors.”, said Vice-President and General Manager Dennis Broderick.

NRMCA President Robert Garbini:"It is impressive that Bode Concrete has set and achieved a goal of substituting concrete with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs)"
