Los Angeles, CA, May 23, 2006--Bentley Prince Street announced that it will be included in the International Design Center for the Environment’s (IDCE) benchmark for a manufacturing firm on the path to sustainability.
As part of this program, the company will receive a Corporate Sustainability Rating from the IDCE, with a further commitment to continued advancement in sustainable business practices with annual documentation of its achievements.
“Our goal has always been to combine the best in design with industry-leading environmental practices in creating our carpet lines,” said Anthony Minite, president of Bentley Prince Street. “We hope this objective third-party rating will both help and encourage the marketplace to work with companies committed to sustainability and protecting our planet’s natural resources.”
IDCE’s Corporate Sustainability Rating provides building professionals with a summary of the manufacturer’s company-wide sustainable business practices. The complementary eLCie™ Web Tool will provide information on the products’ environmental impacts, empowering architects, engineers, contractors, facility managers and purchasing agents with scientifically robust and user-friendly tools to achieve their Environmentally Preferable Purchasing objectives.
The IDCE Corporate Rating System was developed for IDCE by the Sustainable Research Group (SRG), a consulting firm with more than 40 years of experience in environmental management systems and environmentally sustainable business initiatives.
