Annapolis, MD April 7, 2009 –
Quintain Marketing announced today that its facilities, including offices and fulfillment center, are powered by 100% wind energy. The company purchases its power through Baltimore Gas and Electric’s (BGE) energy choice program and has selected the Commerce Energy Clear Choice 100% Wind power service.
“Quintain Marketing is committed to reducing our impact on the environment and being a responsible corporate citizen,” explained Kathleen Booth, Quintain Marketing’s Owner and CEO. “We put a corporate Sustainability Policy in place last year, and the move to 100% wind power just seemed to make sense. It’s good for the environment, good for business, and good for our community.”
The Commerce Energy plan buys wind power from recently constructed facilities that meet not only environmental standards but also market demand. Electricity from these new clean energy facilities replaces traditional energy sources typically powered by coal and other non-renewable, fossil fuels. When used to replace fossil-fuel energy sources, wind energy mitigates the greenhouse effect. Wind, as a source of energy, is ample, renewable, widely distributed and clean.
Commerce Energy’s clean energy program is certified by Green-e for Maryland customers. Green-e, the nation’s leading independent certification and verification program from the Center for Resource Solutions (www.resource-solutions.org), conducts audits to ensure consumer purchases of clean energy are verified as actually delivered to the grid. Commerce Energy is aligned with Green-e standards and with the program’s ethics and transparency values.
