Sprint (News - Alert), a company that offers wireless and wireline communications services, recently announced that it has been recognized with the 2014 North American Green Excellence Award by Frost & Sullivan (News - Alert). The officials from Sprint said that the company has been recognized for its green initiatives that include promoting conservation, re-use, recycling processes, and maintaining global sustainability standards across the organization.


Some of Sprint’s initiatives include programs such as the Sprint Buyback and Sprint Project Connect. Also, the company recently launched new sustainable packaging to further aid waste-reduction efforts. Almost all of Sprint’s suppliers meet the company’s social and environmental criteria. Besides these, Sprint also claims that soon it will collect nine phones for reuse and recycle for every 10 phones they sell by 2017.

"Sprint was a pioneer in establishing a long-term vision for more environmentally responsible mobile devices, and created a set of rigorous environmental specifications for their device manufacturers," said Frost & Sullivan Mobile and Wireless Communications Global Director Brent Iadarola. "Not only this, it also made it a priority to efficiently manage resources used in its business operations to reduce their own environmental footprint. For example, Sprint committed to reduce GHG by 20 percent, and increase its use of renewable energy from today's 5 percent, to 10 percent by 2017."

In related news, Spireon and Sprint recently formed a relationship aimed at providing Spireon's FleetLocate-branded mobile resource management (MRM) solutions to fleet operators utilizing the Sprint network. FleetLocate solutions enable companies to maximize productivity, improve operational efficiencies and improve the bottom line through more effective management of assets, trailers and service fleets. This collaboration provides an unparalleled combination of leading MRM technology, wireless connectivity and industry expertise that can help businesses keep tabs on their fleet vehicles and other valuable assets, improve asset usage, and reduce loss and theft.
