Nov. 24, 2010 (Canada NewsWire Group) --
TORONTO, Nov. 24 /CNW/ - Xerox Canada was declared one of the thirteen
winners of the Xerox Earth Awards, earning an award for the only
customer-focused, revenue generating program, which substantially
boosted ColorQube® sales.
The Ontario team used environmental sustainability content to educate
employees and drive revenue and sales. They collaborated with the sales
staff in a Sustainability Customer Presentation Certification program.
The training reached 92 percent of the direct sales force and 70
percent of the agent representatives. The project now is being rolled
out in Xerox North America.
"Xerox Canada is clearly hitting the mark when it comes to converting
our sustainability record of achievement into high impact message
platforms," says Emechete Onuoha, Xerox Canada vice president,
Sustainability and External Affairs.
This year more than 30 nominations came from Xerox facilities around the
world - including Ireland, Canada, France, the United Kingdom and the
United States. Judges considered innovation, direct benefits to Xerox, duration of the project and the documented,
measurable results of each entry. Thirteen winners were chosen.
The Earth Awards program began 17 years ago as a way to showcase how
Xerox employees can improve the business and benefit the world by
eliminating waste.
In addition, two Canadian teams received Honourable Mentions, which were
the Oakville Colour Toner Plant Operations team and the Xerox Supplies
Development Centre Emulsion Polymerization team in Mississauga.
