GREEN BUSINESS LEAGUE

 
Green Certification: O'Brien & Levine Court Reporting has been in business for 30 years. Most would not think of a court reporting service as a Green kind of business, but that is not the case.  The company recently earned their Green Business League Green business certification by setting goals for the office and the business that incorporates new behavior into day-to-day operations.

President Kenneth Zais worked with Deana Sanchez, a Certified Green Consultant (www.GreenThemeConsulting.com), to improve the green practices already in place  and raise the firm’s Green compliance.  A key focus was energy efficiency with the installation of new light fixtures, power strips to reduce phantom load and Energy Star equipment.

Also, replacing plastic plants with live plants reduces office VOCS and improves oxygen content.  Green cleaning products replaced VOC producing products. The recycling program includes paper, plastic, ink cartridges and computer equipment.  Flow restrictors and aerators reduce water consumption.

When the full assessment and sustainability report was completed, O'Brien & Levine Court Reporting earned at least 100 points which was the required entry level certification level.

O’Brien & Levine has always been ahead of the curve in offering new technology and methods for taking depositions and delivering transcripts. As it happens, new products and services are “green-oriented,” such as the  G-Transcript™, a searchable, printable PDF file can be opened instantly with the popular Adobe Reader—saving paper and ink toner. Also, instead of traveling around the country, depositions can be taken through videography, videoconferencing and Internet streaming.

The Green Business League congratulates O'Brien & Levine Court Reporting for its efforts to be an outstanding business and a leader in Green business services.
