Atoll Security, LLC Takes an Environmental Leadership Position by Joining Carbonfund.org's CarbonFree Program
(CSRwire) LAS VEGAS, NV - January 8, 2008 – Atoll Security announced today that it
has offset its carbon emissions with Carbonfund.org, the country's leading
carbon offset organization. Atoll Security has offset emissions from its
consulting operations and set a zero-business-travel goal.
This commitment places Atoll Security as an environmental leader in the
Information Security and broader consulting community and demonstrates
proactive steps being taken in the fight against climate change.
Atoll Security's clients and employees are very concerned about global
warming. Considering the implications of climate change, carbon offsets
through Carbonfund.org are a natural extension of the work Atoll Security
does on behalf of its stakeholders.
Atoll Security first became aware of Carbon Fund's work through the Live
Earth concert and website. As a small business, it found the CarbonFree
Small Business program so easy and affordable that it had to join in.
"Business as usual has got to give way to a new era of corporate
environmental responsibility," Atoll Security CEO Andrew Riley. "It is up
to the innovative business leaders of the world to begin to really utilize
technology in a way that is greener and simultaneously more cost effective
for the customer."
"Atoll Security, LLC has a proven ability to provide information security,
and now they have taken a big step to promote the kind of security that can
only come from preventing global climate change," said Eric Carlson,
Executive Director of Carbonfund.org. "Their commitment to hasten the
transition to a clean-energy future is strong, and we are very excited
about this new partnership."
