Environmental Record
Kodak has been widely criticized by environmentalists and researchers as one of the worst polluters in the United States. According to scorecard.org, a web site that collects information on corporate pollution, Kodak is the worst polluter in New York State, having released 4,433,749 pounds (2,011,115 kg) of chemicals into the environment.
The Political Economy Research Institute at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, which compiled the Toxic 100, ranked Kodak the seventh largest polluter in the United States in 2002. In 2004, the Citizens' Environmental Coalition's (CEC) of New York awarded Kodak one of its "Dirty Dozen" awards to highlight its consistently high rates of pollution.
Kodak details its annual progress in global sustainability, as well as health, safety, and environment, in its global sustainability report.

Famous quotes containing the word record:
“When our kids are young, many of us rush out to buy a cute little baby book to record the meaningful events of our young child’s life...But I’ve often thought there should be a second book, one with room to record the moral milestones of our child’s lives. There might be space to record dates she first shared or showed compassion or befriended a new student or thought of sending Grandma a get-well card or told the truth despite its cost.”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
