Océ is seeking applications for its Second Annual 'Green Reprographer of the Year' Award, a prestigious recognition for environmentally aware members won last year by Reliable Graphics of Southern California.
The award recognizes outstanding achievement in environmentally responsible operations and helping customers establish sustainable business practices.
Applicants will be asked to submit, in writing, their achievements in the area of green business practices and explain how these efforts have assisted their customers to meet their own sustainability goals. The winning reprographer will be announced on April 30, 2009.
"Despite the various challenges facing reprographers today, many remain committed to developing their own environmentally sound business practices and to assisting their AEC and other clients meet their sustainability goals," said Patrick Chapuis, President, Wide Format Printing Systems division of Oce North America. "After the excellent response we received last year, we want to continue our recognition of those companies that are making strides in incorporating sustainability throughout their business operations."
All applicants will be considered by Oce for future publicity opportunities regarding their sustainability efforts, including interviews and contributed articles with leading reprographic industry publications.
