...And the Winner is!

March 17, 2011 - PRLog -- Independence, OH – Pantek Inc. has earned this year's Biggest Mover Award at the 2011 Green Plus North American Sustainable Enterprise Awards.

The Green Plus Awards, given to smaller enterprises in the U.S. for excellence in triple bottom line sustainability, are presented annually by GlaxoSmithKline at the North Carolina Research Triangle Park Foundation. Finalists are chosen for their outstanding example in integrating business, community, and environmental best practices, as well as for their innovation in sustainability and their efforts to educate their communities and peers about the triple bottom line.

Since moving to a new building in 2008, Pantek has shown a strong commitment toward sustainability and improving their green practices. In choosing a location for their new offices, a major consideration was the amount of available natural light; all offices and cubicles have sources of sunlight. Notably, in order to reduce environmental strain from commuting, Pantek, has also developed a program in which employees who demonstrate excellence in their work, may work from home one or more days per week. Their e-commerce Hosting Division, CybrHost,  depends heavily on computers; to fill this need they utilize efficient computers with rated energy saving power supplies which save over 30% of the energy needed just three years ago.

"Ecology and the environment are hugely important to us, so when we began our sustainability program we decided to move in a big way. We’ve cut our carbon footprint significantly by making improvements in our office and our hosting center, by reducing employee commutes through work-at-home programs, and made a corporate commitment to improving the local environment through tree planting," said Linda Zack, V.P. of Marketing. “Receiving the '2011 Biggest Mover Award' is a wonderful tribute, but the ultimate reward is knowing we are protecting and sustaining the planet, the community, and our business.  We'll continue to move forward, and thank Green Plus for their leadership and recognition of our efforts."
