Just as Earth Day began in San Francisco in 1970, Carey International, Inc. has chosen Earth Day and Carey San Francisco to announce that the company is expanding its partnership with The CarbonNeutral Company into North America.

"All companies have environmental impacts and the chauffeured transportation industry's heavy reliance on fossil fuels certainly has a greater impact than others," said Carey's President and CEO Gary Kessler in making the announcement. "Carey, as a leader in chauffeured transportation, has a responsibility to approach the subject of environmental conservation with careful consideration, transparency, and deliberate action. We began working with The CarbonNeutral Company in 2006, applying their approach to environmental mitigation to the operations of Carey's United Kingdom fleet. After nearly two years of positive effect, Carey International, Inc., is expanding its partnership with The CarbonNeutral Company to its North American operations, starting with Carey San Francisco. For Carey, environmental responsibility is more than adding a few hybrid vehicles to our fleet; it is a total, sustainable solution that will be represented by completely reducing Carey's carbon footprint to net zero, rather than a bullet point on a brochure."

The CarbonNeutral Company is the world's leading carbon offset and climate consulting business, working with over 300 businesses and 50,000 customer clients. The company helps clients apply a four-step approach to developing responsible and sustainable strategies to respond to global climate change. Over the past month, The CarbonNeutral Company has helped Carey San Francisco measure and reduce their CO2 emissions from vehicle operations, electricity use, business travel, employee commuting and landfill waste. To achieve CarbonNeutral(R) status the carbon footprint is neutralized to net zero through balancing the emissions in three global projects that produce emissions savings equal to those Carey San Francisco produces. As a result of that process, Carey San Francisco (as well as Carey UK) now has permission to display the CarbonNeutral(R) trademark, signifying that:

1. Their CO2 emissions have been independently monitored

2. One hundred percent (100%) of their emissions have been reduced to net zero through a mix of internal and external carbon-reduction efforts

"The goal of this partnership is to effectively neutralize Carey's impact on the environment," said Carey San Francisco's Vice President and General Manager, Luis Galindo. "Our unique position is that we recognize the need to mitigate the harm that we are causing today as we implement our own company- wide reduction strategy for tomorrow."

Mark Armitage, President US, The CarbonNeutral Company, commented, "Businesses needs to take responsibility for their climate footprint. And for the earlier adopters, facing up to the challenge will deliver clear commercial benefits as well as environmental good. Carey is a perfect example where not only being CarbonNeutral(R) is part of their corporate social responsibility but it is becoming an integral part of their global business strategy."
