the prysmian Group, through its brand draka elevator, was
awarded as “2012 outstanding Supplier” by Schindler elevator
corporation, which is the second largest elevator company
in the world.
the prize was presented during Schindler's annual Supplier day,
held at its north american headquarters in Morristown, new
Jersey. the Group is Schindler’s only supplier to have obtained this
recognition for three consecutive years.
in addition to recognising suppliers for outstanding quality and
service, Schindler has now added an annual environmental
Sustainability award for partners that make a direct contribution
to Schindler's environmental policy.
participation in the 2012 e3 (economy-energy-environment)
programme, in collaboration with north carolina State
university, helped to achieve this objective. the actions
taken to improve energy efficiency and sustainability
associated with the e3 program have enabled the prysmian
Group to reduce its environmental impact, gaining
a competitive advantage frommeasurement of the
carbon footprint, the decreased contribution to landfills
and a comprehensive waste management program.
the prysmian Group has also embarked on promoting
sustainable partnerships with other suppliers, by developing
environment-friendly products and special energy-efficient
packages (i2 led lighting) for new elevator cabs and
modernisation projects.
