alonovo.com Distributes Quarterly Funding for Major Causes
(CSRwire) San Francisco, CA - alonovo.com
announced that they have distributed second quarter revenue share to
UNICEF, CoopAmerica, Habitat for Humanity, National Resource Defense
Council, Doctors Without Borders, PETA, Global Justice, United for a Fair
Economy and other prolific causes that are working to improve the quality
and dignity of life in their local communities, America and around the
world.
The growing alonovo.com community forms
the intelligent marketplace demand. alonovo.com founder George Polisner
stated "When the alonovo.com community shops -they use alonovo.com to
ensure that their purchases do not perpetuate poor labor conditions,
environmental damage, corruption and political influence -instead the
community buys from businesses such as Seventh Generation, World of Good,
Green Mountain Coffee, No Sweat Apparel and other businesses that are
evolving to embody a proper and sustainable balance. Although we are still
in our infancy we have a very exciting product roadmap that includes
comprehensive coverage of corporate behavior, a universal shopping cart
that will drive sales for local community merchants and plans for
integration with emerging social networks. It is very gratifying to be a
part of this amazing and important effort."
alonovo.com(tm) shares up to 40% of its
shopping revenue with over 90 prolific organizations that are working to
address environmental, socio-economic, media, education, direct disaster
relief and first-responder families (Police, Fire and Military). Each
alonovo.com registered member selects their beneficiary organization which
then benefits from that individual's shopping activity, thus providing
funding to many great local, national and global causes while furthering
an important mission.
alonovo.com(tm) provides a free, informed
online shopping experience for its rapidly growing community. By directly
integrating trusted Corporate Behavior (or Corporate Social Responsibility
(CSR)) ratings from KLD Research & Analytics, Inc. coupled with a large,
price-competitive array of products into a visually compelling and simple
user experience, alonovo.com has started to redirect consumer spending
based upon social values. alonovo.com's mission is to catalyze a
constructive relationship between an informed marketforce demand and the
business supply chain. This accelerates the "race to the top" among
businesses that are working to balance people, planet and profit by
connecting corporate behavior directly into the profit equation.
