Ashby De La Zouch, UK, 21 September 2009 - CEVA Logistics, a leading global supply chain management company, has been awarded the E.ON UK Changing Energy People & Culture Supplier Award at its Supplier Conference, held at Ricoh Arena, Coventry.The award recognises CEVA's excellence in delivering a collaborative and strategic approach for E.ON's Logistics' operation. A key criterion of the award was CEVA's contribution to "changing energy" as it developed an energy footprint tool which monitored carbon emissions and facilitated carbon reduction across the supply chain.
The awards recognise outstanding operational excellence and celebrate E.ON's best suppliers by identifying the individuals and teams which contributed to the energy giant's success over the past year. This year, suppliers from every E.ON business unit, including generation, networks and retail were included in the conference, including service and material suppliers.
Malcolm Russell, Networks Logistics Manager, E.ON said: "In CEVA, we have a strong partner which helps us provide our customers with a high quality service. As we continue to work together to introduce new strategies which benefit our customers, our 11 year relationship goes from strength-to-strength. CEVA has made excellent progress with its carbon footprint reduction initiatives and accident reduction programmes."
Andy Fitt, Operations Director, CEVA Logistics said: "We are extremely pleased that E.ON has recognised CEVA in its supplier awards programme. We are proud of the work we do with E.ON and are delighted to be part of their continued success story."
The CEVA / E.ON partnership has also been a finalist and winner at Motor Transport and CILT awards events. It is also a finalist in the 2009 European Supply Chain Excellence awards.
