Fortune Group is the recipient of the 2015 AT&T
Supplier Sustainability Award due to the company’s work on the transportation, recovery and recycling strategy of AT&T’s electronic waste to help minimize AT&T’s environmental impact in 2015. The award recognizes suppliers for their support of AT&T* and its goals toward sustainable operations.
“Supplier sustainability is a top priority at AT&T and we’re proud to work with companies that take it as seriously as we do ,” said Susan A. Johnson, senior vice president, Global
Supply Chain at AT&T
. “Our 2015 award winners set new standards for sustainable business practices and are helping AT&T drive the industry to be more environmentally responsible.
”
Out of the many vendors in AT&T’s supply chain, Fortune Group is one of only four suppliers to receive the 2015 AT&T Sustainability Supplier Award. Their outstanding
*AT&T products and services are provided or offered by subsidiaries and affiliates of AT&T Inc. under the AT&T brand and not by AT&T Inc.

contributions in handling the recycling of 54,000,000 pounds in 2015 supported
AT&T’s supplier sustainability goals and initiatives during the past year.
According to Mark Matza, President of Fortune Metal Midwest,
“since 1998, business with
AT&T has expanded from a single region to nation-wide, largely because of the mentoring of AT&T.
Similar to the movie Dances with Wolves, Fortunes lieutenants’ spend so much time with our Customers, they start to recognize with AT&T more than Fortune. But this is what has resulted is such good service. AT&T demands that their by-products are handled safely, and without future liability, which is the most important part of what Fortune does.
We compliment AT&T for their commitment to the Environment and Data Destruction .”

About FORTUNE GROUP
TM
Started in 1985 by Norman Ng in New York, as a Minority Certified Asian Enterprise, and still privately held, Fortune has grown to within the top 20 recyclers in the U.S. Fortune has responded to its customer’s needs by opening 16 facilities within a day’s transportation of any point in the US, reducing freight cost, pollution and response time, and coordinating the activities of all of them with a single web accessible database. As its customers expanded into Asia and Mexico, Fortune followed them by opening 6 US coordinated facilities there. This has resulted in slogans such as “Expanding Synergies between
Continents”, and “Made of the Demands of our Customers”. Further information can be found on the web at www.FortuneGroup.net
