Kodak Reports Substantial Progress on Sustainability Goals

    ROCHESTER, NY, April 23 /CNW/ - Eastman Kodak Company today announced
that it has made substantial progress towards its "Responsible Growth" goals.
These goals were established two years ago after the company surpassed, ahead
of schedule, all of its existing manufacturing-focused health, safety and
environmental (HSE) improvement goals.
    "Our current goals build on our legacy of manufacturing excellence and
product stewardship to drive a culture of 'Responsible Growth'," said
David M. Kiser, Director, Health, Safety and Environment, and Vice President,
Eastman Kodak Company. "They're designed to reduce our impact on the
environment, protect the safety of our employees and customers, and support
the communities where we do business while ensuring sustainable growth and
profitability for the company."
    Unlike former goals dating back to as early as 1991, which were mainly
focused on the company's traditional manufacturing infrastructure, the current
"Responsible Growth" goals are broad based, encompassing the areas of product
stewardship and social responsibility as well as operational excellence.

    In the category of operational responsibility, Kodak has:
                       --------------------------
    -   Reduced total energy usage (both direct and indirect) by 30% from the
        2002 baseline year.

    -   Closed a 67-MW power plant in Rochester, NY due to successful energy
        efficiency programs and site transformation. For its efforts, Kodak
        earned the U.S. Department of Energy's "Energy Champion Award," the
        highest award for energy efficiency for industrial facilities.

    -   Achieved a 28% reduction in total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
        (both direct and indirect) from 2002 baseline year.

    -   Externally certified and publicly reported GHG emission inventories
        for the years 2002 to 2006.


    In the category of product responsibility, Kodak has:
                       ----------------------
    -   Reduced packaging by 23% for Kodak's NEXPRESS Dryink products.

    -   Recycled, reused or refurbished 42 million pounds of waste through
        the Printer's EnviroServices Program.

    -   Surpassed a lifetime recycling collection total of 1.2 billion
        One-Time Use Cameras (OTUCs), and manufactured nearly 100% of OTUCs
        in 2007 from recycled bodies and/or parts.

    -   Improved energy efficiency and material usage of photo kiosks, and
        reduced the battery consumption of digital cameras, resulting in an
        Eco-Design and Sustainable Technology Award at the 2008 Consumer
        Electronics Show.

    -   Delivered a Kodak Supplier HSE Performance Expectation to key
        suppliers and joined the Electronics Industry Citizenship Coalition.


    In the category of social responsibility, Kodak has:
                       ---------------------
    -   Reduced occupational injury rates by 58% from the 2002 baseline year,
        with significant reductions achieved in the United States and Canada.

    -   Enhanced designs for products such as kiosks and scanners to ensure
        they are accessible to people with disabilities.

    Although some of the progress achieved in operational responsibility is
related to Kodak's reduction in traditional manufacturing, the majority of the
overall progress is attributed to creative process and design improvements.
    "To enable success during our difficult digital transformation, we have
relied on our strong HSE management system, and on our employees supporting
our Responsible Growth goals by aggressively pursuing additional
sustainability goals specific to their local priorities," added Kiser. "Going
forward, we will continue to prioritize our sustainability challenges,
implement strategies to drive improvements and strive for meaningful and
quantifiable goals."
