(OTC: GGII), the worldwide owner of the Green Globe brand, today announced the appointment of Anoosheh Mostafaei, the president and co-founder of Ship & Shore Environmental, Inc., which provides customized environmental solutions to green businesses in a variety of industries, to Green Globe International’s Board of Directors. Green Globe International recently entered into a strategic partnership with Ship & Shore Environmental, Inc. to collaborate on projects involving the Green Globe brand and its sustainability programs. Ship & Shore Environmental will provide Green Globe clients with expertise on making significant reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, while lowering energy consumption. “We are very pleased that Anoosheh Mostafaei has accepted an appointment to the Green Globe Board and look forward to her contributions,” said Steven R. Peacock, CEO and managing Director of Green Globe International, Inc. “Her experience in designing and delivering environmental solutions for industry, as well as her leadership on numerous industry boards and committees, will provide Green Globe with critical insight as it seeks to expand its reach into new markets in the United States and around the world.” Ms. Mostafaei commented, “After taking the time to familiarize myself with Green Globe International and its strategic plan to grow the company, I am happy to join the Board of Directors. I believe that there are tremendous synergies between Green Globe International and Ship & Shore Environmental, including projects involving our new Green Energy Industrial Solutions division. I look forward to working with the Board to chart a successful future for Green Globe International.” Ms. Mostafaei is a leader in the design, engineering and manufacture of green solutions for industry. After graduating from the University of Colorado with a degree in chemical engineering she began her career at Flour Daniel as a project engineer working on nuclear, chemical and petrochemical projects for the worldwide market. After leaving Flour Daniel, she became involved in helping manufacturers meet VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) abatement challenges by providing customized energy efficient air pollution abatement systems. Ms. Mostafaei is a leader in the field of VOC abatement solutions. Each engineering solution is custom designed to not only help a client meet their environmental obligations but also contemplates how each facility’s unique manufacturing practices and requirements will be integrated into the design and operation of the best pollution abatement solution. Her in-depth process knowledge and expertise provide the foundation for designing superior, innovative, efficient equipment and reliable technologies that help industry to collect and destroy air pollution emissions. For many years Ms. Mostafaei has served, and continues to serve, as an advocate for manufacturers through active participation on several boards and committees, including serving as BACT (Best Available Control Technology) committee member for the SCAQMD (South Coast Air Quality Management District), board member of Western Region SPI (Society of Plastics Industry) Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) group, board member of CFECA (California Film Extruders & Converters Association) and FBF (Film & Bag Federation). Board and committee participation, along with planning of meeting agendas and annual conferences, has enabled Ms. Mostafaei to develop close relationships among the membership of these organizations. As a member of the Society of Plastics Industry she serves on the Public Policy Committee and Environmental Council and has met with legislators and testified at government hearings on behalf of industry. Her knowledge and experience with combustion equipment such as thermal oxidizers, catalytic oxidizers, boilers, burners, carbon and zeolite adsorption, etc. is primary to her business. In addition, heat recovery and energy consumption reduction is an integral part of each engineered solution. Due to the economic and market demands on businesses to reduce operational costs Ms. Mostafaei has utilized her knowledge and experience to expand the line of products and services offered by her company to meet these needs. To better address client requests for help with the ever-increasing regulations on manufacturing such as global warming and carbon footprint reduction issues, Ship & Shore Environmental, Inc., under the leadership of Ms. Mostafaei, recently launched a new division known as Green Energy Industrial Solutions. Her vision for this new entity capitalizes on years of experience gained while helping her clients implement a variety of energy reduction strategies including alternative energy sources. These strategies not only provide a positive payback to a client’s bottom line, but also reduce their carbon footprint by addressing greenhouse gases emissions and positively affecting corporate sustainability programs that promote “green branding”. As an active board member of the Network of Iranian Professionals of Orange County (NIPOC) she also founded the engineers and architects division of NIPOC. She is an active member of Orange County’s Strategic Business Group which is a networking group of Iranian-American professionals, and helped with development of the Iranian Cultural Center Orange County (ICCOC) which promotes learning about the Persian culture through classes and social activities. In addition to her many years in leadership positions and participation as a board member and committee chairperson for several trade associations, she has also dedicated herself to helping impoverished children improve their lives through health and education assistance. These volunteer activities have included fundraising, committee and board membership for several nonprofit organizations over the years such as Discover E Program (youth promotion for engineering schools), United Way, Child Foundation, and Children’s Hope International Literacy and Development (CHILD). The Green Globe brand and program, which traces its roots back to the United Nations Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit in 1992, where 182 Heads of State endorsed the Agenda 21 principles of Sustainable Development, has primarily been used in the travel and tourism industry but is now being expanded to include a growing number of environmentally responsible businesses in a variety of market sectors. The Green Globe brand is an ideal symbol for the world's increasing awareness of environmental responsibility and response to global climate change.
