Hi,
My name is Peter Pekurar and I am employed with Christie Digital Systems, a manufacturer of high end projection products. I have been fortunate to have been involved with a variety of AV installations world-wide and this Green AV blog offers a wonderful opportunity to share ideas and learn.
My background started in the engineering of CRTs products progressing to LCDs and finally DLP projection. Currently I am responsible for Christie's Environmental Management System, our Quality System and our Customer Satisfaction processes.
Chrisite employees have become quite passionate about environmental issues and we want to do our part to help create a sustainable society. Over the past year I've also been quite busy with the expansion of Christie's management system towards that of increased environmental responsibility. I am very please to say that we have just certified our manufacturing facility to the ISO14001 Environmental Standard. Those of you attending InfoComm this year will see some of our initiatives first hand at our booth.
To me, being green means constant learning. It seems the more we learn about environmental issues the more we realize that we need to do more. I am very eager to hear your thoughts on what we as a manufacturer could do to improve our environmental performance and help expand our green initiative throughout the industry.
I'm planning to write a future article on the ISO14001 standard and the direct benefits it can have to our industry.
Best Regards,
Peter
