Paints in the UK recognised for product stewardship analysis.
February 2007
ICI Paints in the UK is one of the winners of the 2006 ICI Chairman's Leadership Award for Sustainability.
Working with partners Carillion and Forum for the Future, ICI Paints has developed a Streamlined Life Cycle Analysis (SLCA) process which quickly identifies the main product impacts in all stages of the life cycle. Paints was the winner of the Product Stewardship award this year.
A programme to share environmental knowledge and sustainable production projects with a local community in Argentina was the overall winner of the award.
The annual award is part of a programme that recognises innovative and outstanding projects by ICI sites around the world in the categories of safety, health, environment, product stewardship and community involvement.
ICI Argentina was one of the four winners of the 2006 Chief Executive?s Leadership Awards for Sustainability in the areas of safety, health, environment, product stewardship and community involvement (no 2006 award was made in the health category). Each was considered for the Chairman's award. A further award category, on Employee Practices, will be introduced in 2007.
The other winners of the 2006 Chief Executive's award were:
- Safety: Quest International, USA
Quest's site at Owings Mills introduced a campaign "I Work Safely Because..." to enhance engagement in safety behaviour at the site, and to reinforce the impact on friends and families. - Environment: National Starch, Germany
Hamburg site has found a novel solution to an odour problem from the site, eliminating the offending drying stage of the process and selling the wet and dry products separately to local farmers. This has the added bonus of reducing energy and effluent treatment requirements, and plant utility costs.
