CARROLLTON,
TEXAS - July 22, 2009 - SAMSUNG | GVI Security today announced that SAMSUNG
Electronics has increased its score from 6.9 to 7.1 in the Greenpeace International
"Guide to Greener Electronics" by "committing to reduce its absolute
emissions of greenhouse gasses, despite growth in the company's sales."
GVI Security is the strategic partner of Samsung Electronics throughout the
Americas. The company offers the complete Samsung Electronics line of products
and integrated security solutions which enable intelligent video surveillance.
"We continue
to do our part to add to the SAMSUNG legacy in environmental policies,"
adds Steve Walin, GVI CEO. "Not only is environmental protection practicing
good corporate stewardship but, more and more, customers are requiring it. Therefore,
we use recycled paper on all of our business cards, catalogs, brochures, packaging
and other paper goods used in production. Since Samsung Electronics already
complies to RoHS (Restriction on Hazardous Substances) directives in production,
a growing consideration of more and more companies in the Americas, we can assure
our customers that our solutions already meet such standards."
