CANON
Released 20/11/2008
Appoints new environment and product safety manager
Digital imaging technology company, Canon UK and Ireland, has announced the appointment of David Lucioni as its environment and product safety manager.
Lucioni started his career in the Metropolitan Police Force as a PC and has since built up over 15 years' experience in the private sector, including holding the position of environment coordinator at both The Cheese Company and Heinz Frozen and Chilled Foods in Devon.
Lucioni will now be responsible for representing Canon UK and Ireland on pan-European environmental, quality and product safety issues, along with local strategies, legal compliance and environmental legislation (such as the WEEE Directive and ISO14001 standards). His role is crucial in fulfilling the company's long-standing corporate philosophy of Kyosei - which translated from Japanese means ‘living and working together for the common good'.
Lucioni commented: "Joining Canon was an easy decision to make. It's a brand that is respected worldwide and is also a leader in its approach to the environment - from its commitment to recycling through to its partnership with WWF, the global conservation organisation. Environmental issues and legislation can be complicated and diverse but Canon has always had the right ethics and approach to tackle environmental concerns head on and I am committed to ensuring this continues in the future."
Andy Vickers, MD, Canon UK and Ireland added: "We are delighted to welcome David into our organisation. His environmental credentials are second to none and we are confident that he can help with the ongoing education within the organisation to communicate the importance of our environmental activities and their benefits beyond simple legal compliance. The message to our customers is that being environmentally aware can actually benefit not only the organisation but also its bottom line and David will be instrumental in ensuring that we continue to practice what we preach."
