R. R. Donnelley & Sons Company (Nasdaq:RRD)
announced today that it has received the 2014 Sustainability Silver
Award from the Institute for Supply Management (ISM)-Chicago for
their work in the areas of sustainability and safety. The award
recognizes organizations that have successfully embraced
sustainability and safety initiatives, and encourage innovative
collaboration between suppliers and supply management
professionals.
"We are extremely honored to receive this award in these two
critically important areas," said Michael D. Manzella, Senior Vice
President and Chief Sustainability Officer Environmental, Health,
Safety & Quality at RR Donnelley. "Our sustainability approach
is highly focused on the areas of resource efficiency, green
procurement, waste minimization and stewardship and we work
collaboratively to support our customers' sustainability
initiatives as well as those of our suppliers."
With respect to the safety element of the award, Manzella added,
"In addition to safety compliance, as we worked to create an
environment where employees look out for each other, we noted a
step change in performance and a dramatic decrease in injuries as
reflected by our company injury rates that are more than 60% below
the industry average."
The Institute for Supply Management is the first supply
management institute in the world. Founded in 1915, ISM exists to
lead and serve the supply management profession and is a highly
influential and respected association in the global marketplace.
ISM-Chicago is an affiliate of the Institute of Supply
Management.
"RR Donnelley's practices are built around the concept that
sustainability does not involve making a choice between being
cost-effective and being conscious of environmental impacts. Our
philosophy is to integrate the two as we continuously pursue
opportunities to improve sustainability across all of our worldwide
operations," said Dan Knotts, RR Donnelley's Chief Operating
Officer. "All of us at RR Donnelley strive to improve our
Environment, Health & Safety performance by utilizing practices
that protect employees and the environment, and we are particularly
pleased to be recognized with this prestigious award."
