ModusLink
Global Solutions™ Inc. (NASDAQ: MLNK) today announced
publication of its newest Corporate
Social Responsibility (CSR) report for fiscal year 2013. This report
has been certified by the Global Reporting Initiative™ as having
fulfilled all disclosures and requirements of Application Level C and is
the second bi-annual report the Company has issued.
“We know that it isn’t enough to just talk about environmental
stewardship, resource sustainability, labor standards and ethics in
business,” said Scott Crawley, president of Global Operations at
ModusLink. “These principles of responsible corporate action must be
built into all of our systems and processes and in fact, our supply
chain and logistics services very often help improve our clients’
sustainability efforts, as well.”
This newest report provides ModusLink’s stakeholders with details on
goals and measurable results in the areas of waste and water management,
energy consumption, conflict minerals and human resources, among others.
Between the reporting periods of fiscal 2011 and 2013, ModusLink reduced
energy and greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption and total waste
volumes across its global network of Solution Centers. The overall rate
of recycling corporate-wide improved from 65 percent to 73 percent.
ModusLink’s CSR
goals and actions are closely tied to those of its clients and the
Company works in conjunction with some of the leading enterprises in the
world—particularly in the high-tech and consumer electronics industries—
to advance rigorous standards. The Company has worked with the Global
Reporting Initiative to ensure the report follows industry standards
in disclosure.
