Intercall joins Green Alliance

InterCall, the world's largest conferencing provider, is now a Platinum sponsor of Climate Action, a joint development of Sustainable Development International and the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) promoting environmentally-responsible business.

Through an upcoming book, Web site, and marketing program, InterCall and Climate Action will educate businesses, governments and non-profits on what they can do to reduce their carbon footprint and reduce their impact on climate change. Other environmentally friendly best practices, new technologies and practical initiatives to help companies and governments create a more sustainable business will also be shared in the publication. Features authored by government entities, intergovernmental organisations, the public and the private sector will raise awareness of the latest market trends, environmental threats and opportunities in response to climate change.

Intercall is an excellent service, we use it all the time.

I think the point here is that Intercall is using the environment as an excuse to appear all green.

Its common sense that using a phone to ring europe would be greener than flying there. They are just trying to exploit things.

I dont think Intercall is alone in seeking to exploit this new concern we have with the environment. It makes commericial sense and does good, so whats the harm in it?

From Carolyn Campbell, InterCall:
I'd like to thank those who express support for our effots...Thanks!

For those worried that we're "greenwashing" and exploting the postiion, I'd like to offer some peace of mind. We're doing more than just the web site, and if you take a close look at the site you'll see that it's designed to offer more than just information on our services, but is a portal and information source for many more resources on how to make your everyday business practices more environmentally friendly.

I am personally heading our internal efforts to make our company more environmentally friendly, and I know we have a strong commitment. And I'm both proud and happy that my companyy offers services that allow others to do the same.
