Newmont is the proud recipient of General Electric's (GE) Return on Investment Award. The award recognizes customers for significantly surpassing and improving environmental and industrial operational goals, while balancing industrial demands.

GE's Infrastructure, Water & Process Technologies division recognized Newmont's Carlin operation for its dust suppression activities to reduce environmental impacts. Newmont Nevada has been using GE's DusTreat product on haul roads since 2008. The product prevents dust particles from becoming airborne, and helps reduce water and fuel consumption.
