July 2010 Brother Industries UK wins best sustainable business award The Arup Award for Sustainable Manufacturing, sponsored by the worldwide engineering group, seeks to recognise good environmental practice in terms
of recycling, control of emissions and use of resources and energy. But it's also looking
for more: for evidence that sustainability is at the core of everything the company does and that the company is itself a sustainable organisation. Award details here

Brother's 8000 and 5300 mono laser printer ranges (totaling 12 models) have now been granted
Nordic Swan environmental approval.
The Nordic Swan standard covers the products' entire lifecycle, from raw material to waste -
and draws many parallels with the Blue Angel and Energy Star eco-labels.
The Swan eco-label recognises that our printers and multifunction machines are high performance
and built to be recycled. Swan-labelled equipment has strict requirements on power usage, product
lifespan, emissions, eco-functionality and recycling. The label also means that the machine is built
so they will be easy to recover, repair and upgrade. There are around 65 different groups of products
which have the Swan label, making it the world's leading eco-label. http://www.nordic-ecolabel.org
March 2010 Brother No. 1 Ethical Brand For The Fifth Year In A Row!
Brother are proud to announce that we've been awarded a 100/100 rating for our environmental,
animal welfare and human rights' credentials in a leading independent audit. We are the only company
in our sector to do so. We recorded an excellent score in every category, as measured by the UK's
Ethical Company Organisation - publishers of The Good Shopping Guide.
This is the fourth year in a row that we have secured a score of 100/100 and the fifth year running that
we have been number one in the marketplace. The award demonstrates how we are leading in the
printing solutions industry with rival manufacturers all scoring less in the report. http://www.ethical-company-organisation.org/
