Diva Limousine Ltd. sets aggressive GHG reduction targets; announces Green
Ride Global membership.

 

For Immediate Release - February 6th , 2009; Studio City, Calif. - Diva
Limousine (www.divalimo.com), a chauffeured transportation company serving
Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and New York, has designed a carbon
reduction strategy aimed at achieving a greenhouse gas (GHG) emission

the transition to new technologies, reduced electricity use, waste diversion
and employee education. 

 

As members of Green Ride Global (GRG) - a firm that creates and implements
environmental sustainability programs for the ground transportation industry
- Diva Limousine is on a monitored and measured path to environmental
sustainability, with third-party reports to verify it.

Climate Leaders program. Some of the initiatives they are implementing
include:

.          Evaluating the latest in hybrid and alternative fuel vehicle
technology

.          Measuring, monitoring and reporting on business travel and staff
commuting

.          Transitioning to a paperless office 

.          Retrofitting office lighting

.          Diverting waste and instituting a company-wide recycling program

.          Choosing biodegradable solvents and cleansers for vehicles and
office

 

Bijan Zoughi, President and CEO of Diva Limousine, recognizes the need to
incorporate environmental sustainability into ground transportation.
"Corporations and governments around the world have established their own
in-house environmental commitments and goals," says Bijan Zoughi. "Diva
Limousine has committed to reducing the emissions expelled by our vehicles
and facilities and we are now able to offer the kind of luxury service that
is going to help our clients reach those goals."

 

In addition to rolling out its environmental programming  across its Los
Angeles, San Francisco and New York offices,  Diva is the only official
Green Ride Global member serving  Chicago, and is now better able to serve
the corporations, governments and public audiences for which a commitment to
environmental sustainability has become standard in service and supplier
selection.
