Intel takes CSR management award

Date: 3 Nov 2005

Intel has been awarded the first 'CSR Management' award as part of the annual Business Ethics Awards. In particular, the company was praised for its leadership in helping to bring companies together to create the Electronics Industry Code of Conduct.

The other winners of the awards, run by New York-based Business Ethics Magazine, were the South Mountain Company, which won the Workplace Democracy category, New Leaf Paper, the Environmental Excellence Award, and Weaver Stret Cooperative which won the Living Economy Award.

Dave Stangis, Intel's director of corporate responsibility, said: "We could see this issue of supply chain management coming, given what happened with the sweatshop issue in the apparel and shoe industries. We couldn't let what happened to The Gap and Nike impact us, so we decided to band together with other companies and take a leadership position on the issue."
