- Kodak has partnered with the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) on its Project XL and Sustainable Futures
programs to encourage the application of pollution prevention
principles and the development of inherently low hazard new
chemicals; its Energy Star program focused on reducing energy
use in manufacturing; and its Climate Leaders program that
encourages the development of long-term comprehensive
climate change strategies.
Awards and Honors
Third-party recognition by well-respected entities is always
gratifying, and 2002 has once again brought many such honors to
Kodak people for their efforts in health, safety and the
environment. Highlights include:
- In Australia, the Plastics and Chemical Industries Association
(PACIA) has developed a series of eight Responsible Care®
Codes of Practice containing 270 management practices
specifying what issues a company must address to improve its
health, safety and environmental performance. In 2002, Kodak
Australia was ranked No.1 in terms of its 2001 compliance
with these codes.
- Kodak's plant in Shantou, China has been selected by the
government as the best environmentally-friendly company in the
Province of Guangdong.
- Kodak received a 2002 WasteWise "Program Champion" Award
from the EPA for its impressive waste reduction efforts. The
continued recycling of one-time-use cameras prevents hundreds
of tons of plastic and printed circuit boards from entering the
waste stream each year. Altogether, more than 100 million one-time-use cameras were collected worldwide by Kodak for
recycling in one year.
- Kodak also found various ways to reuse and recycle waste. In
the last year, the company distributed more than 850 tons of
furniture and electrical equipment for reuse; harvested and
reused more than 11,000 tons of concrete, asphalt, and brick;
and collected for recycling more than 370 million plastic
film canisters.
For the future, we remain steadfast in our resolve to seek
improvement at every turn.
