Durham, N.C. – Aug. 27, 2007 - ARCADIS (EURONEXT: ARCAD) instrumental in producing a quick guide for companies to understand the benefits of developing an in-house greenhouse gas inventory and how to get started. The guide helps you grasp exactually what is involved in such an effort.

Sustainable design and operational practices are important to more companies and institutions than ever before. Recognizing this movement, ARCADIS recently became a full member of the North Carolina Sustainable Business Council (NCSBC) joining approximately 40 other businesses and organizations. The purpose of the NCSBC is to provide business leadership for change toward an environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable future in North Carolina. The Greenhouse gas inventory quick guide was produced in partnership with the NCSBC. 

According to Senior Engineer, Michiel Doorn, "Sustainability is a framework for making sense of what is happening in the world. Becoming a member of the NCSBC is important for ARCADIS because sustainable design components can already be found in many of our projects. Building on our environmental and economic analysis expertise, we offer a range of sustainability and climate footprint assessment services. But we must walk the talk! So, in early fall we will be rolling out internal sustainability programs in our offices."
