Riley Life Receives Green Plus Certification

Riley Life Industries, Inc. was recognized Thursday July 9, 2009 by the Institute for Sustainable Development for their recent accomplishment of achieving Green Plus certification. The event was held at Mez Restaurant in Research Triangle Park and honored Riley Life.

Alex Gibson, COO of Riley Life Industries, felt pursuing Green Plus certification was a natural move for the company. "Sustainability is one of our company’s core values, so we make sure to practice a ‘Green Plus’ lifestyle on a day-to-day basis. Being certified allows our customers and our community to see just how strong our commitment to sustainability really is."

Green Plus Certification required Riley Life to assess their sustainability in three areas: organizational performance, the environment, and the engagement of their employees and communities. Key practices already in use at the facility helped Riley Life attain certification. Among other things, all Riley Life employees participate in a monthly community service project, receive money for gas when they carpool, and use 100% recyclable packaging materials.

Riley Life Industries is an order fulfillment and distribution company that allows other businesses, big and small, to worry less about shipments and inventory and to focus more on developing their business. Riley Life is the first business in the transportation and warehouse sector to become Green Plus certified.
