ThinkSpace Takes an Environmental Leadership Position by Joining Carbonfund.org’s CarbonfreeTM Program
(CSRwire) Dubai, UAE - December 14, 2007 - ThinkSpace announced today that it has
offset its carbon emissions with CarbonFund.org, the United States'
leading carbon offset organization. ThinkSpace has offset the emissions
generated by their day-to-day business operations. This commitment places
ThinkSpace as an environmental leader in the real estate community and
demonstrates proactive steps being taken in the fight against global
climate change.
As Dubai's first green real estate agency, ThinkSpace recognizes the
unique opportunity to make environmentally conscious purchases and
decisions to lower the impact of its employees on the environment and to
conduct business activities without producing more waste than is
necessary.
In addition to its offset with Carbonfund.org, ThinkSpace sponsors local
'eco-warriors' to help them achieve their goals. The business recycles all
paper products, uses fuel efficient company cars, and constantly searches
for new ways to reduce the use of paper and plastic.
"We recognize that we can't change the world overnight - but we can
contribute to help make a difference.," ThinkSpace partner Daniel Simpson
said. "To partner with a globally recognized foundation like
CarbonFund.org was a foregone conclusion during the formation of
ThinkSpace. As well as continuing to look for new and innovative ways to
raise the level of service and product in the real estate sector of the
UAE, we are simultaneously motivated and obligated to succeed in a way
that leaves as little impact as possible on our planet. By being
proactively green and carbon neutral we demonstrate our absolute
commitment to excellence in all aspects of our business ethics." Daniel
Simpson, Partner.
"We are extremely pleased to have ThinkSpace as a partner in the fight
against global warming," Carbonfund.org Executive Director Eric Carlson
said. "Climate change is a global problem that needs the commitment of
businesses all over the world - so it is wonderful to have a partner from
Dubai leading the charge."
