Altius It’s “better Than Carbon-neutral” Risk Assessments - Reduce Client Energy Bills

Sept. 22, 2008 - PRLog -- Santa Ana, CA – Altius Information Technologies, Inc. has reworked its risk assessments and audit services so they are more eco-friendly and easier on client wallets.  

“Most risk assessment and audit companies arrive at a client location and do not think twice about their service impact on client energy bills. Although we’re a 100% carbon neutral already, we believe our responsibility to our clients should go further. We estimate that by making changes and adjustments so that our risk assessment and audit services are as energy efficient as possible, we’re saving our clients a minimum of $1500 on direct energy usage costs. That’s pretty powerful,” says Mr. Kelton.

Altius IT has adopted the following practices that make its risks assessments and audits – client-friendly and eco-safe.
•  Minimized energy usage – During assessments, energy usage is minimized and adjusted according to the specific tasks performed – reducing each assessment’s environmental impact. Some work is conducted offsite to further reduce Altius IT’s impact on client energy.
•  Energy-saving equipment – 100% of the equipment used is designated energy efficient – minimizing Altius IT’s impact on the environment and reducing its carbon footprint. The equipment used consumes five times less energy than traditional PC’s.  
•  Energy-saving best practices – Each assessment utilizes efficient best practices combined with energy efficient tools to provide a combined power savings of up to 70%.
•  Reduction of hazardous waste – After assessment equipment has reached the end of its lifespan, Altius IT disposes of equipment in responsible and environmentally friendly ways – minimizing the amount of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, and other toxic substances being released into the environment.

Altius IT is committed to the social, environmental and economic well-being of the global community in which our clients and team members live and work.
