iCIMS Partners with 3 Phases Energy and Earth Share of New Jersey to Support Environmental Causes
-iCIMS Joins EPA Green Power Partnership Program-
HAZLET, N.J. (October 30, 2006) - iCIMS, a leading Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider, today announced that it has made commitments with two organizations to support a healthy environment. Over the next three years, iCIMS plans to purchase 450 MWh of green power Renewable Energy Certificates (REC) to offset more than 100% of the electricity generated by its corporate headquarters.
To support this initiative, iCIMS has partnered with 3 Phases Energy Services, LLC as its provider of Green-e® Certified RECs. The Green-e Renewable Energy Certification Program is the nation's leading independent certification and verification program for renewable energy products. The Center for Resource Solutions, a San Francisco-based non-profit administers the program and ensures that strict environmental and consumer protection standards are met.
iCIMS' commitment to purchase RECs will support wind power at the Blue Canyon Wind Farm in Oklahoma along with other nationwide wind facilities. The impact of iCIMS' commitment will help prevent the release of more than 626,400 pounds (about 284 metric tons) of carbon dioxide (CO2), the leading greenhouse gas from entering the atmosphere; an equivalent environmental benefit of removing more than 60 average passenger vehicles from U.S. roadways for one year or planting 237 acres of trees storing carbon for one year.
Additionally, iCIMS has joined the Environmental Protection Agency's Green Power Partnership, a voluntary program that seeks to increase the use of clean, renewable energy sources among leading U.S. organizations.
