DB Schenker Delivers Sony TV’s; Installs, Recycles in “Green Glove” Program
FREEPORT, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sony’s B2C group awarded DB Schenker with their “Special Recognition” award at their 2009 Annual Transportation Conference held in San Diego, Calif., on June 1, 2009. “DB Schenker truly deserves this award for an amazing performance on the Sony Green Glove program,” said Doug Schauer, senior manager of B2C Logistics Strategy. “We are very pleased with DB Schenker’s performance and dedication to making this new program successful for the Sony Corporation.”
The Sony “Green Glove” program involves the delivery of a new Sony TV, set-up of the TV in the customer’s home, hook-up of the TV to one electronic item, removal of packing materials and debris, and return of one TV for recycling.
“Sony needed a partner that would embrace their desire to fully participate in the global green initiative of recycling used electronic equipment, specifically TV’s,” said Tom Pelliccio, vice president, Retail Sales. “We are pleased to be recognized for our efforts in helping Sony meet its corporate objective to be the leading green electronic company,” he said.
“We showed how DB Schenker could adapt its products to our customer’s requirements. We looked at our ‘White Glove’ inside delivery service and added a reverse logistics component to create Sony’s ‘Green Glove’ delivery,” added Pelliccio.
