Carbonfund.org, the leading not-for-profit carbon offset organization, and CSRwire, The Corporate Social Responsibility Newswire, have partnered to deliver the latest CSR headlines, CarbonFreeTM. Every press release CSRwire sends is now CarbonFree™, with CSRwire supporting climate-friendly and carbon reducing projects with Carbonfund.org. This partnership marks the launch of Carbonfund.org's CarbonFree™ program.

When a company such as CSRwire joins the CarbonFree™ program, the company receives access to CarbonFreeTM branded material, consultations on carbon reductions and stakeholder outreach, and customized solutions for products and services.

Participants in the program commit to offset a portion of their business or services, reduce their emission baseline where possible, and agree to reach out to their stakeholders. The process is simple and easy to start, and provides instant recognition for the company or organization that they are taking concrete action on climate change and reducing their carbon emissions.

CSRwire, working in conjunction with Carbonfund.org, determined the carbon footprint of its operations along with that of its parent company, Meadowbrook Lane Capital, and has offset its footprint by supporting clean, renewable energy. This means that Carbonfund.org, on behalf of CSRwire, will now offset the 264,000 pounds of CO2 that CSRwire and Meadowbrook Lane are responsible for producing through their business activities.

CSRwire will announce that each press release is CarbonFree™ with a tagline at the bottom of every press release. The tagline will include a link to Carbonfund.org to enable viewers to learn more about the partnership and offset their organization. If they do, CSRwire will offer a 25% discount on the press release announcing the commitment to reducing carbon emissions.

"Our CarbonFree™ program provides a simple way for any company to utilize carbon offsets to reduce their impact on climate change, and we're excited that CSRwire is leading the way and making such a visible commitment to being CarbonFree™" said Eric Carlson, executive director of Carbonfund.org. "There is no reason consumers should not be asking 'Is this company or organization doing something about their carbon emissions?' and now, with the CarbonFree™ seal, consumers will immediately know the answer is yes."

According to Greg Schneider, Director of CSRwire, "CSRwire strives to exist in a sustainable and responsible way, always looking for practical, easy approaches to reduce our impact on the environment. Carbonfund.org made it simple to calculate all of carbon emissions for our own operations as well as our parent company's operations. We encourage all companies to take this step toward environmental responsibility."
