OTTAWA, Ontario, April 22, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kivuto Solutions Inc., the global leader in complex digital distribution, is announcing its continued partnership with the Carbonfund.org Foundation for the third year in a row. The partnership signifies Kivuto's commitment to reducing its impact on the environment through both its green distribution solutions and dedication to reducing its carbon footprint while offsetting the rest.
The Carbonfund.org's CarbonFree® Partner Program supports third-party validated renewable energy, energy efficiency and reforestation projects in the U.S. and abroad to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and hasten the transition to a clean energy future. Kivuto has chosen to support Reforestation and Forest Preservation projects, which fight climate change by sequestering CO2 emissions from the atmosphere in trees and soil and improve local environmental quality.
"The first step in the path to sustainability is recognizing that you can make a difference, and we're pleased to partner with Kivuto Solutions in its third year on this path," says Eric Carlson, President of Carbonfund.org. "We encourage everyone to continually strive to reduce their carbon footprint through sensible energy reductions combined with cost-effective carbon offsets to eliminate their overall carbon footprint."
For over 15 years, Kivuto has provided a green alternative for product distribution by eliminating the need to create and deliver boxed offers and offering an electronic distribution model that allows for effective and efficient delivery online. Studies have proven that using digital distribution solutions instead of traditional distribution methods can reduce carbon emissions by as much as 83 percent for a single product. And estimates show that the 30 million digital downloads Kivuto enabled for its customers over the past year reduced carbon emissions by approximately 42,000 metric tons. This is a significant savings that Kivuto is truly proud of.
This commitment goes beyond Kivuto's green business model and carbon offsetting initiatives; Kivuto's employees have started an internal team that is dedicated to promoting green alternatives on a daily basis and implementing company-wide initiatives for a more environmentally friendly workplace. Initiatives include an enhanced recycling program, campaigns to clean local communities, reducing waste at monthly company lunches through reusable dishes and more.
Kivuto is looking forward to continuing its efforts to deliver green solutions, offset carbon emissions, take on new initiatives and become part of a greener community.
