CAMBRIDGE, ON--(Marketwired - October 07, 2014) - Last week, Eco-Shift Power Corp (ECOP)organized a special event to congratulatelocal businesses on their achievements in reducing energy usage and GHG emissions. In addition to generating significant bottom line savings for clients, ECOP is able to identify and quantify environmental benefits for each project.ECOP is finding that businesses assign more value to investments that have an environmental benefit given the rise in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and shifts in the market demand for more sustainable goods and services. ECOP provides clients with a report that details the exact amount of electricity saved and Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) reduced, which the clients can then use in marketing and awareness.

As the world becomes more aware of the economic benefits associated withsustainable investments, businesses are faced with the challenge of deciding where to invest. ECOP provides clients with an obvious solution by combining measurable environmental benefits, significant financial savings, and improved lighting.

CJ Brubacher Plumbing and Frey's Flowers are both great examples of companies who have taken the appropriate steps to operate in a more sustainable and energy efficient manner. With the installation of high efficiency NetZero Certified LED luminaires, both organizations have been successful in drastically reducing their energy bills while reducing GHG emissions and improving their lighting.

CJ Brubacher made the switch from T8 /T12 fluorescents, halogens and high-pressure sodium luminaires to ECOPNetZero Certified, highly efficient LED tubes, bulbs and Wallpacks. By making this switch, CJ Brubacher is now experiencing impressive energy reductions of 67%. Kyle Brubacher, owner of CJ Brubacher, stated, "We are not only experiencing significantimprovements to light levels in our warehouse, but have also noticed the savings in our hydro bill every month."

Frey's Flower's T12 fluorescentsand incandescent bulbs have been retrofittedwith NetZero Certified LED tubes and bulbs. By switching to LED technologies, they are not only experiencing a better quality of light for their flora, but are experiencing phenomenal energy savings of 83%! Karen Brubacher remarked, "Our staff and customers have noticed the difference… We can actually see now! The flowers look great as we can more easily care forthem and more importantly, the whole upgrade was done without any business interruptions."

ECOP has partnered with a number of organizations within the region including Bridgeland Terminals, Vernla Livestock, CJ Brubacher and Frey's Flowers. With the help of these clients and other partnerships in the Kitchener-Waterloo area, ECOP has reduced energy consumption just in Ontario by approximately 6.4 million kWh! That is the equivalent of preventing 4.7 million pounds of coal from being burned or saving roughly 3600 acres of trees.

The ceremony event had a great turn out from local businesses and community members. Jeff Quint from Waterloo North Hydro presented the saveONenergy energy incentive check to both companies. Mayor Todd Cowan was also in attendance and assisted with the ribbon cutting. Local NGO's, including Sustainable Waterloo Region (SWR), were also present at the ceremony.

The event was covered by the media, including the Woolwich Observer and the Independent, anotherlocal newspaper.

Sustainability Cultureat ECOP:
Jim Hughes, ECOP CFOstates, "It is our drive to help the environment in a real and measurable way that sets us apart from many of our competitors. Our mission is to solve environmental problems while increasing shareholder value atthe same time".

Green Team: ECOP has also created a Green Team which meets once amonth to discuss internal green initiativesas well as attend various 'green' events. Some of their successes last year include establishing a company GHG baseline and transitioning from an observing member of the Regional Carbon Initiative (RCI) to a Bronze Pledging member.

Finally, ECOP has a Corporate Social Responsibility Programexclusively for Not-for profit Organizations. One of the initiatives within this program involves supporting local NGOs with their sustainability agenda. ECOP provides free lighting assessments, discounted audits and Energy Efficiency Lighting projects up to 40% (on product and installation associated costs).Goodwill Industries Ontario Great Lakes benefited from this program last Marchwhen upgrading their lighting at the Guelph Community Store & Donation Centre.
