Cutting-Edge Environmental Innovations Recognized by Environmental Defense Fund
Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) has highlighted a number of environmental innovations that are helping companies cut costs, create business opportunities and carve out competitive advantages in a challenging economy. Among them: Enterprise’s use of energy-efficient thin client terminals as part of its new rental transaction system – a move that streamlines the company’s rental processes and offers significant environmental benefits in the process.
The new system connects the reservations, billing and reporting operations of more than 7,000 Enterprise rental offices around the world. Instead of using personal computers, Enterprise deployed a network of 45,000 energy-saving thin client terminals. Use of the technology will enable Enterprise to cut its annual carbon dioxide emissions by 6.5 million pounds – a reduction of nearly 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide per branch office per year.
