Transfreight recognized with Mitsui CSR Award
In February 2009, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (Transfreight's parent company) recognized Transfreight with its highest award for CSR achievement. Evaluation criteria included whether initiatives strengthened "coexistence with local communities", as well as whether they serve as models for other Mitsui companies.
During the 2007-08 period covered by the award, Transfreight completed 20+ CSR initiatives, including food and clothing drives benefiting food banks, charity event sponsorship, refurbishment at a park, recycling and other environment-centered activities, "adopting" less-fortunate families, and raising awareness about health risks.
"Our company is committed to giving back to our communities," said Chairman/CEO Chris Painter. "We stronglty believe the greatest impact comes through the combination of company funding and our employees' personal contributions of time and energy. We are very proud of the positive impacts we are able to make as we work together."
