  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize BlueStar 
Recyclers for winning the Golden Rotary's 2022 Ethics in Business 
Award.
  Each year, the Golden Rotary Club awards one for-profit company and 
one non-profit organization for their outstanding ethical behavior and 
leadership. The community is asked to nominate organizations whom they 
think display the highest standards of ethical business practices, 
integrity, and civic and social responsibility. Winners are then chosen 
by students in an Ethics class at the Colorado School of Mines.
  A non-profit organization, BlueStar works to recycle electronics and 
other materials and in turn create local jobs for people with autism 
and other disabilities. Their mission has enabled them to be successful 
while making a huge impact on our community. There are countless 
examples of BlueStar's positive impact in our community and high 
ethical and moral standards. The company boasts some of the lowest 
turnover, absenteeism, and lost-time accident rates in the industry. 
Testimonies from employees show a positive workplace environment and 
personal growth opportunities for all employees.
  BlueStar has proven to be a highly successful organization which 
helps people with disabilities, provides an excellent return on 
investment for its customers while be environmentally-conscious and 
giving back to their community. Congratulations to BlueStar Recyclers 
on receiving this award from the Golden Rotary Club and I thank them 
for their ethical leadership and ongoing contributions to our 
community.
