The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment today
recognized Arrow Electronics, Inc.’s (NYSE: ARW) Value Recovery
business for its environmental commitment by naming it a new “Gold
Leader” in the state’s Environmental Leadership Program. Arrow was
recognized, along with other Colorado-based organizations, at the
16th annual Environmental Leadership Awards held at the Wings over
the Rockies Museum.
The awards recognize Colorado organizations with gold, silver
and bronze designations for voluntarily going beyond compliance
with state and federal regulations and for their commitment to
continual environmental improvements. Arrow’s Value Recovery
business is one of 12 new companies designated a Gold Leader this
year.
“Arrow’s Value Recovery business kept an estimated 54 million
metric tons of e-waste out of landfills last year because we take
our environmental responsibilities very seriously,” said Mark
Majeske, president of Arrow’s global reverse logistics business.
“Arrow is honored to receive this Gold Leader designation from the
Colorado Environmental Leadership Program.”
Arrow’s Value Recovery business works with its customers to
securely refurbish computers, tablets, smartphones and other
electronic devices for additional use, or repurpose their
still-valuable component parts for other uses. Whenever possible,
Arrow emphasizes extending the life of these devices by selling
them, redeploying them within organizations or donating them. Arrow
has been recognized as a global leader for its value recovery work
by the independent information technology research and advisory
firm Gartner.
“We are proud to recognize all of Colorado’s environmental
leaders today, including Arrow Electronics,” said Lynette Myers,
Environmental Leadership Program coordinator at the Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment.
