POMPANO BEACH , FL (02.08.10) – Broward Children’s Center and GreenProfit Solutions, Inc. have completed a partnership that has seen the Center undertake a groundbreaking Sustainability Plan and certified “green” nonprofit.

The GreenProfit Solutions plan focuses on “green” methodology and staff education to reduce operational expenses, increase employee retention, and provide a replicable example of sustainable business and health practices. Typically a for-profit certification, the Center has broken ground as a nonprofit and through its involvement of the children and young adult clients with special needs it serves.

“Both staff and the children we serve have a keen sense of social responsibility. Considering our concern for the surrounding community and environment, in concert with the potential cost savings and other benefits, this new initiative made perfect sense,” said Center CEO, Marjorie Evans.

“Large companies employ their own sustainability departments and consultants, however, as a nonprofit this was simply not within our budget. We were fortunate enough to have GreenProfit Solutions offer their Approved Green Organization Program services at no cost.”

The program includes energy, water, and waste audits performed by GreenProfit Solutions, as well as self-assessment guidelines to empower staff and residents as active participants. All employees will also be eligible for GreenProfit benefits such as a free learning library and discounts on “green” products.

Founded in 1971, the Broward Children’s Center provides a range of health, education, therapeutic, and daily living services to more than 1200 infants, children, and young adults with physical and cognitive challenges.

GreenProfit Solutions, Inc. provides sustainability consulting, marketing, and certification programs, in addition to featured lines of green products, from its headquarters in Plantation, FL. The company assists businesses and other organizations with adoption and implementation of earth-friendly policies in a concerted effort to reduce their environmental footprint, improve their marketing image, as well as enhance their bottom line. GreenProfit Solutions, Inc. maintains a regularly updated corporate website, accessible at www.greenprofitsolutions.com.
