Distell War on Waste Winners

Distell recently asked Image Solutions Photography and Design to be the photographer for the final presentation and prize giving that was held at their head office in Stellenbosch.

A while ago Distell launched an internal “War on Waste” within the company to see where the company can save money and increase profitibility within the structures of the company. Many employees teamed up in their own various fields of expertise to see where they could wage war on wastage and as time progresses, these teams implemented their savings and ideas. This final presentation was the culmination of a long process to get to the final three teams and they were tasked to present their savings to the board of directors who would then choose one team as the final winners.

All three teams ended up with a prize for each individual and the winners received a little extra in the form of a 46″ LED Flatscreen TV! Not a bad prize at all.

As photographer for the prize giving, it was wonderful to see the teams work together in their goal of waging a war against the daily wastage that was ultimately costing Distell a lot of money. These cost saving methods and implementations taught those that took part in the War on Waste some valuable lessons that I am sure will stay with them for their whole lives.

Being the photographer for the prize giving was truly an experience and an eye opener to see individuals come together for the greater good and help Distell and the environment.

Good job Distell!
