ATCO Electric has received an Award of Excellence for its business
continuity management program, including its capability for
effective response, recovery and restoration of critical business
functions during a major disaster, accident or power disruption
such as the Slave Lake Wildfires in 2011. The award was announced
June 26 by the Disaster Recovery Institute (DRI) CANADA at the
World Conference of Disaster Management.
"I am so proud of the people of ATCO and their commitment to
maintain safe, reliable service in the communities we have the
privilege to serve," said Nancy Southern, President & Chief
Executive Officer, ATCO Group. "It is a great honour and a greatly
appreciated recognition to receive this award."
DRI CANADA's Award of Excellence recognizes organizations that
achieve a high level of excellence in the field of business
continuity management. To qualify for the award, ATCO Electric had
to demonstrate significant accomplishment in three professional
areas - continuity management, technology recovery and crisis
management. In Slave Lake, each of those areas was put to the test
during restoration of critical electricity and natural gas services
damaged by fire.
"As part of our commitment to service excellence, an effective
business continuity management program is critical to safeguarding
the interests of shareowners, customers, employees, brand and
reputation," said Bobbi Lambright, President, Operations Division,
ATCO Electric. "ATCO's integrated approach proved extremely
effective in our coordinated response during the Slave Lake
wildfires in 2011."
DRI Canada is a national non-profit organization providing
education and certification to business continuity
professionals.
