Indianapolis – Brightpoint has received the prestigious
EcoVisionary Award for its wireless device recycling initiatives.
The EcoVisionary Awards recognize companies that incorporate
sustainability into their short- and long-term strategic plans. The award was
presented to Brightpoint based on its program with Flipswap to offer wireless
device recycling services to Brightpoint customers throughout Europe.
Through the shared program, consumers are offered an
incentive to turn in unwanted devices for resale or recycling. All devices are
accepted, even ones that no longer hold any economic value, in order to protect
the environment.
EcoVisionary Award information was collected from hundreds
of independent green business consultants, individual corporate sustainability
officers, Fortune’s green ratings, Newsweek’s green rankings, Bloomberg’s
Sustainability Index, The Dow Jones Sustainability Index, The Global 1000 Sustainable
Performance Leaders and other public sources.
Verification, judging and selection were overseen by The
Green Business League. In addition, award winners in each category were
selected based on information provided by the company on their past
accomplishments, present initiatives and, most importantly, their plan and
vision for the next three to five years. Additional information can be found at
