Donnelley & Sons Company (NYSE:RRD) has received the 2004 PrintWeek Award for Environmental Company of the Year. The PrintWeek Awards recognize excellence in printing in the United Kingdom and are sponsored by PrintWeek magazine, the leading printing industry magazine in the U.K. The award was presented to RR Donnelley in recognition of environmental stewardship at the company's ISO14001 certified, state-of-the-art printing facility in Flaxby Moor, U.K. The PrintWeek Awards are presented annually and are greatly coveted within the U.K. print industry. RR Donnelley was named Environmental Company of the Year in recognition of the Flaxby Moor facility's strong environmental processes, which include setting, meeting, and often exceeding performance improvement targets; actively communicating with workers to ensure the environmental programs are implemented plant-wide and to obtain input and ideas on driving inefficiency and waste out of production processes; working with suppliers to increase their level of environmental stewardship; working with local groups to preserve the habitat surrounding the facility; and using advanced auditing and systems documentation to ensure effective and sustainable programs. "We are very proud to receive this prestigious award," said John Paloian, President, RR Donnelley Group Publishing and Retail Services. "At all of our print manufacturing facilities worldwide, we strive to leverage our manufacturing and environmental expertise in order to provide our customers with the industry's best products and services while also working to protect and improve the environment." This is the third environmental honor for the Flaxby Moor operation in 2004. Earlier this year the Flaxby Moor facility also received two BAFTERS (Best Action for the Environment Roadshow) awards from the Harrogate Borough Council for their outstanding energy and waste management programs. "Our efforts at the Flaxby Moor facility are another example of our continuous global environmental commitment," noted Paloian.
