GM and OnStar Win Edison Awards

From Chevrolet.com:


General Motors has won bronze and silver Edison Awards for two corporate initiatives, its global landfill-free program and OnStar Family Link service, respectively. The competition honors game-changing products, services and processes.
OnStar’s Family Link is an opt-in service allowing OnStar subscribers to stay connected to loved ones using location-based data. Subscribers can visit the Family Link website to view a map with their vehicle’s location and even set up email or text notifications alerting them of its whereabouts. Family Link gives subscribers peace of mind, whether it’s checking on the progress of young drivers or staying updated on family members who may be driving in inclement weather.
GM’s commitment to environmental stewardship helps it to consistently innovate and operate leaner and more efficiently. It recycles 90 percent of its global manufacturing waste and has 105 landfill-free facilities that recycle, reuse or convert to energy all waste from daily operations — more than any other automaker. These efforts help engage the community, reduce environmental impact and generate reuse and recycling revenue. GM developed a blueprint called "The Business Case for Zero Waste" with tips for all companies seeking ways to reduce their waste.
