Corning Cable Systems' Hickory Cable Facility Gets Environmental Steward Honor

Jan 12, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) --
Corning Cable Systems, part of Corning's Telecommunications segment, announced that its Hickory Cable Facility has become the first business in Catawba County - and one of only nine in the state - to be named an Environmental Steward by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NC DENR).



The award recognizes the facility's superior environmental performance, commitment to continued reduction of its environmental impact and demonstrated commitment to exceed compliance.

The Hickory Cable Facility was recognized today by NC DENR officials at a ceremony in Hickory. This is the second time a Corning facility has received this award; the Wilmington Optical Fiber Manufacturing Facility achieved Steward status in 2005.



"We are honored to be recognized as a 2008 Environmental Steward," said Clark Kinlin, president and CEO of Corning Cable Systems. "Recognition for this award goes to our employees for their commitment to protecting our environment. Corning Incorporated constantly strives to be a global leader in environmental performance - and this award is an example of that dedication."

This is the second time in less than a year that the Hickory Cable Facility has been recognized by the state. In March, the facility earned the Carolina Star certification from the North Carolina Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health division for safety excellence. In April 2008 the facility also became the first partner in Catawba County's Recycling and Waste Reduction Partnership Program.

Corning Cable Systems noted that it has adopted a green strategy to eliminate the use of hazardous substances in its products and manufacturing, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and to recycle. The company is TL 9000 and ISO 9001 certified. The Hickory Cable Facility is also ISO 14001 certified to environmental standards.
