The South
Carolina Manufacturers Alliance awarded AFL with the Made in South Carolina
Excellence in Corporate Responsibility Award. This award recognizes manufacturers that positively impact
their communities by judging them in three areas: community involvement and
philanthropy, environmental safety, and wellness and safety. AFL has won the
award for both 2011 and 2012 initiatives.
AFL manufactures
products and services to the electric utility, including fiber optic cable, transmission
and substation accessories, connectors and fusion splicers.
“Being a repeat
winner of this prestigious award solidifies AFL’s dedication to environmental
awareness, safety and health and to taking an active role in the
betterment of our community,” stated Eric Borowicz, operations manager for
AFL’s conductor accessories division. “We are honored to receive this
recognition.”
A big reason for AFL
receiving the award is the company’s extensive Community Outreach Program, wellness
initiatives and policies and principals in environmental and health and safety commitments. AFL works in these areas with a goal of
improving communities, enhancing quality of life and creating a better world
for future generations.
