DUBLIN, April 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Allergan plc (NYSE: AGN), a leading global pharmaceutical company, today announced that it has received the 2019 ENERGY STAR(®) Partner of the Year Sustained Excellence Award for its continued leadership in energy management and efficiency. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency award recognizes Allergan as an ENERGY STAR(®) partner that has demonstrated exemplary commitment to energy leadership year over year.
