Elcoteq Wins Award for Contract Services

Elcoteq SE, an electronics manufacturing services (EMS) company in the communications technology industry, is the winner of the SMT 2009 Vision Award in the category of Contract Services for its Management of Corporate Responsibility program. The SMT Vision Awards recognize the people and products within the surface mount industry that serve as benchmarks of excellence. Sponsored by SMT magazine and in its 17th year, the award honors the finest examples of creative advancement in technology.

According to Elcoteq, its corporate responsibility initiative takes a proactive approach to comply with the principles of sustainable development based on the company’s core values. Its services support original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and all stakeholders to ensure compliance of corporate responsibility standards in operations throughout the whole supply chain, encompassing economic, social, and environmental requirements in different countries. Elcoteq said this reduces the OEM’s burden to deal with vendors on these issues and expedites the necessary steps.

The award was presented at a ceremony on March 30, 2009, in conjunction with the APEX trade show at the Mandalay Bay Hotel, Las Vegas, NV, USA.

"Elcoteq is committed to working with its customers in all environmental issues. We are also continuously improving our own environmental performance and are pleased to have received this award,” said Minna Aila, Director Corporate Responsibility and Investor Relations, Elcoteq SE.
