CommScope
seeks to bring the best practices for environmental stewardship to its partners
and customers
RICHARDSON, Texas – July 22, 2008 –
CommScope Enterprise Solutions, a division of CommScope, Inc. (NYSE:CTV), has
joined The Green Grid, a global consortium dedicated to advancing energy efficiency
in data centers and business computing ecosystems. As a general member of The
Green Grid, CommScope will collaborate with other member companies and gain
access to a wealth of information about energy efficiency advancements within
data centers.
Over the last decade, CommScope has taken the initiative
to significantly reduce its carbon footprint when manufacturing its premier
network infrastructure solutions. Its award-winning ReelSmart® cable reel
recycling program, EcoPower™ cabinets and continued use of renewable material
are a few ways CommScope is helping to safeguard the environment through its
own best practices. In addition, CommScope voluntarily reports its greenhouse
gas emissions, numbers that have steadily decreased since 2002.
CommScope’s
green efforts also include passing energy-efficient and energy-saving practices
on to its customers. For example, CommScope’s Intelligent Building Infrastructure
Solutions (IBIS) employs a single backbone that supports building systems such
as security, lighting, HVAC and communications in order to supply greater efficiency
and higher productivity with increased comfort.
“At CommScope, we
advocate and support The Green Grid’s efforts to unite and work toward energy-efficient,
eco-friendly solutions,” said Luc Adriaenssens, senior vice president, Research
and Development and Technology, CommScope Enterprise Solutions. “We understand
the importance of safeguarding the environment and are committed to making a
difference while setting a strong example for others. While we continually focus
our efforts on superior product manufacturing, outstanding customer service,
employee excellence and company value, environmental stewardship has been and
will continue to be a top priority.”
The Green Grid seeks to provide
industry-wide recommendations on best practices, metrics and technologies that
will improve overall data center and business computing energy efficiencies.
By joining The Green Grid, CommScope is helping influence both developers and
end users of data center technology.
