Pizza Fusion Receives Green-e Certification for Environmental Leadership

July 31, 2007 - Fort Lauderdale, Fla – Pizza Fusion (www.pizzafusion.com), the leader in the organic restaurant sector and ‘green’ business practices, was recently recognized by the Center for Resource Solutions with their Green-e program for the purchase of certified renewable wind energy to offset 100% of their power consumption. Green-e is the nation’s leading independent renewable energy certification and verification program.



“We are excited to welcome Pizza Fusion into the family of organizations using the Green-e logo to promote their certified renewable energy purchases. Pizza Fusion is demonstrating environmental leadership and innovation while inspiring other companies to take action to reduce their environmental impact," said Dan Lieberman, Green-e program manager, Center for Resource Solutions.


The Green-e logo provides an easy way for consumers to quickly identify environmentally superior energy options and is used by businesses to communicate the purchase and/or generation of certified renewable energy. The Green-e Program works to expand the market for clean, renewable energy by advancing awareness of renewable energy options and protecting consumers.


“Communicating our loyal approach to sustainable business practices is very important to us,” Vaughan Lazar, co-founder of Pizza Fusion, explains. “Not only does it set an example for other businesses to follow, but it authenticates the validity of our eco-friendly operations to provide consumers with confidence when seeking out sustainable products or companies. Being ‘green’ is a great thing, but it broadens its impact when it’s communicated. Educating businesses and consumers alike creates a more environmentally sustainable economy.”


Pizza Fusion offsets 100% of their electricity consumption in their corporate office and stores with the purchase of renewable wind energy certificates from San Francisco-based 3 Phases Energy (www.3phases.com).
