Fidelity National Title Joins Arizona Green Chamber of Commerce

Fidelity National Title Embraces Arizona Green Chamber of Commerce in Support of Sustainable Business Practices

PHOENIX – The Phoenix Chapter of the Arizona Green Chamber of Commerce (AGCC), a non-profit organization committed to promoting a more sustainable, environmentally sound economy, announced today that Fidelity National Title of Maricopa County has joined the Chamber. The Chamber has gathered significant momentum recently through the addition of large local businesses such as Fidelity, Southwest Gas and McMurry.

The Green Chamber promotes sustainable business practices and environmental stewardship, and addresses issues such as recycling, waste reduction, energy and water conservation, pollution prevention, and the use of energy-efficient facilities and equipment.

“Fidelity strongly supports sustainability through efforts like AGCC membership and our paperless environment initiatives. We challenge all local businesses to take a close look at its business practices to see where it can utilize recycling, reuse and conservation efforts. Even minor changes to processes, such as printing everything double-sided, can reap substantial rewards for the business and the environment. We are honored to support AGCC,” stated Fidelity Marketing Director Jean Clements.

Clements continues, “watch for upcoming details on how a local real estate professional can win free AGCC membership via our WIN THE PAPERLESS FIGHT Title Championship contest. Nominations are open for real estate professionals making the most impact towards sustainable business practices and reducing paper waste. Details are posted at www.WinThePaperlessFight.com.”
 
“It is a significant sign of community support in our mission when AGCC membership grows despite the current state of the economy, including the addition of members in the real estate industry.” comments PGCC Founder and CEO Mara DeFilippis. “We deeply appreciate national business pillars like Fidelity, who is the world’s largest title insurance company, who show their support of PGCC and demonstrate their belief in a more sustainable community. Large corporate members are critical to strengthen the voice and influence of Arizona’s businesses in environmental stewardship.”

PGCC members are required to meet specific membership standards that support their commitment to environmental stewardship and include industries such as architecture and construction, energy source providers, recycling and waste management, LEED certification specialists and professional service providers in accounting, marketing and law. Since membership is based on stewardship, PGCC members are not required to sell sustainable products or services.

Added DeFilippis, “We encourage local businesses to support sustainable businesses locally, including consideration of potential vendors and partners from our membership directory.  For a list of current members and a directory of local green products and service providers, please visit www.arizonagreenchamber.org.
