Siemon Launches a New Online Resource: A 'Greener' Approach to Network Cabling
www.siemon.com/green offers guidance on obtaining LEED credits and "green" strategies for IT network professionals
WATERTOWN, Conn., Feb. 7 / -- Siemon, a globally recognized leader in network cabling solutions, is proud to announce the launch of a new online resource dedicated to sharing strategies on environmentally responsible IT network practices as well as examples of Siemon's own award-winning approach to green operations.
A testament of Siemon's commitment to ecological responsibility, this online resource offers actionable advice on reducing the environmental impact of IT activities through cabling best practices. This new site specifically addresses the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) program and its global counterparts, providing both an overview of these programs and cabling strategies designed to secure green building credits. These strategies are supported by Siemon's own LEED- certified support team.
Siemon.com/green also provides information on Siemon's ISO 14001 certification and global RoHS (Restriction on the use of Hazardous Substances) initiatives, including education about RoHS compliance, and Siemon's company- wide pre-deadline compliance actions.
Additionally, the online resource highlights Siemon's own operational dedication to environmentally responsible stewardship through a green news section listing Siemon's most recent environmental awards, certifications and global initiatives.
Visitors to Siemon.com/green can also explore the extensive conservation efforts underway at Branch Hill Farm, an award-winning 3000 acre New Hampshire tree farm owned by the Carl Siemon Family Charitable Trust and operated by Cynthia Wyatt, daughter of the late Carl Siemon and member of the Siemon Company board of directors. Branch Hill Farm serves as a living public laboratory for educating all age groups about good forest and field management and participates heavily in a wide array of conservation efforts.
