enVista Launches “enVista Green” 

Leading enterprise cost management services provider institutes policies to positively impact the environment

INDIANAPOLIS, May 28, 2008 -- enVista, a leader in enterprise cost management solutions, has announced a company-wide Green Initiative aimed at reducing their environmental impact. Just as enVista helps companies create more efficient, lean global supply chains, the company now aims to make a similar difference in its own practice by eliminating waste, saving energy and diminishing their carbon footprint.

“At enVista, integrity, accountability for our actions, and a proactive approach to problem-solving are central to all we do,” said Jim Barnes, President and CEO of enVista. “enVista Green is a completely natural effect of adhering to these principles.”

Through enVista Green, enVista will apply its entrepreneurial approach to the development of innovative, environmentally-friendly solutions. Every element will be considered, from formalizing basic green policies, such as the use of recyclable products, to encouraging and providing incentives to associates who participate in green practices in their private lives.

The enVista Green program includes:

• Using electronic files and forms rather than paper copies
• Eliminating use of disposable products in break rooms, such as plastic and styrofoam, and replacing them with permanent products
• Recycling all cardboard, paper, plastic, and glass
• Purchasing paper products that are recyclable
• Utilizing virtual offices to reduce gas consumption and co2 emissions.
• Reimbursing associates that replace existing light bulbs in their homes with energy-efficient, fluorescent bulbs
• Encouraging associates to plant a tree every year and reimbursing those who do

Though enVista expects some practices, such as reduced energy consumption, to also yield cost savings, its Green Initiative is designed for its environmental benefits. Barnes concludes, “one of enVista's ‘Guiding Principles' is that ‘We do the right thing for the right reasons.' enVista Green is the right and responsible thing to do as a good corporate citizen. We look forward to rolling out these and future Green initiatives.”
