eGroup, Inc. Takes an Environmental Leadership Position by Joining Carbonfund.org's CarbonFree® Program

Charleston, SC - May 18, 2009 - eGroup, Inc. announced today that it is offsetting its carbon emissions with Carbonfund.org, one of the country’s leading carbon offset organizations. Through Carbonfund.org’s CarbonFree(R) Small Business program, eGroup has offset 70 metric tons of CO2-a commitment that establishes eGroup as an environmental leader in the Charleston community and demonstrates the proactive steps it is taking in the fight against global climate change.

Carbonfund.org’s CarbonFree® Partner program supports renewable energy, energy efficiency, and
reforestation projects in the U.S. and abroad to reduce CO2 pollution and help hasten our transition to a clean energy future.

eGroup and its clients are naturally very concerned about global warming. Considering the implications of climate change, carbon offsets through Carbonfund.org are a natural continuation of the work eGroup does on behalf of its clients.

“Since eGroup’s inception, our company mission has been twofold-to deliver best-in-class products and services to our clients and to minimize our organization’s carbon footprint. The eGroup culture promotes forward thinking as it relates to making socially responsible choices, and partnering with Carbonfund.org seemed like a natural extension of our current efforts,” said Catherine Carter, Chief Financial Officer of eGroup. “It is our hope that by being a leader in the charge towards a more sustainable future, other local businesses will follow suit in an effort to make the Lowcountry of South Carolina a better place to work and live.”

“eGroup is already known for providing information technology solutions,” said Eric Carlson, Executive Director of Carbonfund.org. “But it understands that climate change requires solutions of a different kind. eGroup deserves credit for its green initiatives to make technology more sustainable. We’re very excited about this new partnership.”
