Is there a Pitney Bowes “green” movement?
We began to reduce our carbon footprint, minimize our waste, and protect resources long before these became buzzwords. Our Board of Directors’ Corporate Responsibility Committee was founded back in 1980. And today, our Energy Task Force is set to eliminate more than 380 tons of carbon dioxide emissions. Our Go Green campaign in Canada reuses or recycles 100% of imaging equipment returned from leases. And 2007 marked the ninth year in which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recognized Pitney Bowes for significant recycling and solid waste reduction with an induction into their Hall of Fame. Now, Pitney Bowes and four other companies have teamed with the World Business Council for Sustainable Development to create Eco-Patent Commons—an initiative that provides access to intellectual property before patent protection expires, so inventors can get new energy-saving ideas to market sooner.
