Business Wire
Standard Register (NYSE: SR), a leader in critical
communications solutions for business and healthcare, received an
overall score of 93 out of 100 in the 2012 Carbon Disclosure
Project (CDP) update on greenhouse gas emissions data and climate
change strategies. By way of comparison, the average score among
more than 2,500 companies that participate in its annual global
survey for Standard Register’s category, supply chain companies,
was 48.
“Sustainability is one of Standard Register’s corporate
initiatives,” said Joseph P. Morgan, Jr., president and chief
executive officer. “Our 2012 CDP score is a significant
achievement. It reflects the commitment of our company and all our
employees to integrate preservation of the environment with our
overall business strategy. Our customers, suppliers and other
stakeholders appreciate, support and benefit from our efforts to
reduce environmental impact with our business practices.”
Standard Register has a three-pronged approach to its
sustainability program, according to Steve McDonell, vice president
of engineering and sustainability.
- Earning certification from
organizations that promote responsible management of the world’s
forests, such as the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) and the
Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
- Managing waste with comprehensive
reduction and recycling throughout the company.
- Managing resources to reduce use of
energy and water, and measuring and reporting greenhouse gas
emissions.
Standard Register improved its overall score from 89 in 2011 to
93 in 2012 by elevating its program throughout the company and
increasing executive and board of directors support and
sponsorship. The CDP measures both the scope of a company’s program
and how well it is executed. For 2012, Standard Register made the
most improvement and was awarded the top score of 100 in both
emissions management (supply chain average was 56) and stakeholder
engagement and verification (supply chain average was 32). The
company received an overall rating of “B” on its CDP performance
bands which reflect execution compared to an average of “D.” The
CDP only rates companies that score above 50.
“Standard Register’s “green” initiatives have been a part of our
business model for a number of years and we have a long-term
commitment to sustainability,” said McDonell. “Along with other
companies that report results through CDP, we are demonstrating
that by improving the management of environmental risk, we can
build a more sustainable economy. For 2013, we will continue to
forge ahead to strengthen our program and standardize our processes
to lower energy costs, reduce waste and conserve resources.”
Among the initiatives underway and planned for 2013 are the
creation of a formalized Environmental Management Program that will
be ISO14001 compliant and allows for facility certification,
continued reduction of the company’s overall effect on the
environment and increased communications with employees, suppliers,
customers and stakeholders.
