Partnerships
Kodak has long believed in working cooperatively with nonprofit organizations and supporting many collaborative business initiatives to promote health, safety and environmental responsibility.
For example, the company strongly supports World Wildlife Fund (see "Awards"), The Conservation Fund, The Nature Conservancy, World Resources Institute, Water Environment Research Foundation, and Resources for the Future.
Awards
Third-party recognition by well-respected entities is always gratifying, and 2001 brought many such honors to Kodak people for their efforts in health, safety and the environment. Highlights:
- For many years, Kodak has sponsored an innovative World Wildlife Fund project called
Windows on the Wild, a program designed to educate a new generation of young people
around the world on issues of environmental stewardship and biodiversity. At the 2002 Winter
Olympic Games, this program was recognized with a Spirit of the Land Award for excellence in
global environmental education.
- A research partnership between Kodak and three Canadian universities—McMaster University, INRS-Eau
at the Université du Québec and Wilfrid Laurier University—received a prestigious
2001 Synergy Award, co-sponsored by The Conference Board of Canada and the Natural Sciences and Engineering
Research Council of Canada. The partnership has worked for nine years to find the best methods to measure
and minimize the tiny quantities of silver released into the environment during the photofinishing process.
- Kodak received a 2001 EPA WasteWise "Partner of the Year" Award from the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency. Awards went to companies that achieved the most impressive waste reduction results.
Kodak contributed to reduction with its innovative and successful recycling programs for one-time-use cameras
and for film containers.
As Kodak moves toward the future, we remain steadfast in our resolve to seek improvement at every turn.
