Orbus Awarded for Environmental Responsibility
Orbus Visual Communications cited its robust recycling program as a factor in its 2023 Best in Biz award.
Orbus Visual Communications (asi/75209) is garnering praise for its sustainable practices.
The Woodridge, IL-based supplier of tradeshow and event signage has received a silver award for most environmentally responsible company of the year from the 2023 Best in Biz awards.
“We are honored to receive this important award,” said Joel Reyes, continuous improvement manager for Orbus. “We recognize the importance of taking care of our planet and are proud to do our part by implementing environmentally focused practices in our business operations.”
This is the fourth year that Orbus has received a Best in Biz award. Winners in the program are determined by an independent judging panel made up of prominent editors and reporters from top-tier North American publications.
Companies are judged on their accomplishments from the past year and their dedication to continuous improvement. Among the criteria that make an impact are a company’s notable investments into environmental and corporate social responsibility programs.
Orbus noted that the award recognizes the supplier’s recertification to ISO 14001:2015 environmental management policies, which guides it to take measures to minimize its environmental footprint.
Among Orbus’ sustainability initiatives is its robust recycling program. In 2023, the supplier diverted 80.3% of its waste from landfills. Over the course of the last decade, Orbus said it has diverted more than 10 million pounds of waste from landfills. Also of note: Orbus employees, each May, participate in the annual DuPage River Sweep, joining the community in an effort to remove invasive species from local habitats.
Judges in the 13th-annual Best in Biz awards considered over 600 entries in a variety of categories from public and private companies across the U.S. and Canada. “Each year, our judges are impressed with the innovations, growth and change emanating from the winning companies,” Best in Biz staff said.
