"Just about everything I think is what the Government would be seeking business to do in respect of the Environment - linking business processes with the protection of the Environment, having a life-cycle analysis, having an audit trail, taking account of the needs of developing countries so that the huge benefits of communications can be extended to them but in a manner which is going to protect the environment. I think that is exactly what's needed."

Vodafone
Vodafone Limited has a requirement to manage the replacement and upgrading of its networks with maximum efficiency both financially and environmentally. Shields Environmental has enabled this for Vodafone since 1998. Shields provides a complete outsourced solution that unlocks maximum residual value from our surplus assets and ensures equipment that cannot be re-used is securely recycled. We have also been able to purchase some competitively priced spares from Shields. In addition to the financial benefits, their audit trail and reporting proves that we meet our corporate responsibility targets and ensures that we are ready for forthcoming legislation. Shields Environmental are very proactive in developing and investing in global capability and have proven to be an ideal retired asset management supplier-partner. We look forward to continuing to work with them in the future. |

Distributel
I have had great success in finding all sorts of telecom equipment at great prices. They have a worldwide workforce (USA, UK, Canada, etc.), and have a large inventory of equipment on-hand in their warehouses (one of which is located conveniently close-by in Brockville, ONT.) and have in-stock supplies of NORTEL, JUNIPER, ALCATEL, CISCO, ADC, and others.

Business
in the Community
Julia Cleverdon, CVO, CBE, Chief Executive of Business
in the Community said: “Companies achieving the
BIG TICK in our Awards for Excellence, should be very
proud of their achievement. I congratulate them all
as examples of best practice. They have come through
a rigorous and independently assured assessment process
and have emerged as truly inspiring case studies delivering
great benefit to wider society through their programmes
and partnerships. We will enthusiastically use them
to encourage other companies to improve their positive
impact on society”.
Jim Haywood, Director of Business in the Environment
commented: “The Fonebak scheme is a true example
of excellence. The increasing sale of mobile phones
has made safe and environmentally sustainable disposal
a major issue. Shields Environmental have managed to
combine inspiration, innovation and business vision
to provide a valuable service which is also a good business
enterprise. Indeed, all of this year’s BIG TICK
companies have shown real innovation and the case studies
demonstrate how successful companies are placing the
environment at the heart of what they do.” |

(Environmental) Reporting is currently much less common among the next 250 FTSE listed companies... However, it is clear that reporting is rare among these companies.with the exception of businesses like Bovince Ltd and Shields Environmental that were shortlisted for ACCA's environmental reporting awards last year. |
