Liberty Wire & Cable has announced a major Green Connectivity™ initiative that embraces environmentally sensitive and responsible corporate citizenship in both the A/V products the company manufactures, as well as the way it conducts business and operates its facilities.

Liberty’s Green Connectivity initiative signifies its commitment to GreenMarket goals. These include expanding the number of environmentally friendly products it offers, reducing the company’s carbon footprint in ways that also save customers money, developing a green footprint for each of Liberty’s buildings and facilities, developing paperless account management options, and developing a broad selection of energy-saving product solutions.

On the product side, Liberty offers an increasingly broad selection of Green Connectivity™ products and solutions that protect both the environment and A/V professionals. These include products that comply with the Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive, which calls for reductions in lead and five other chemicals. More than 90 percent of Liberty’s 6,000-plus products already meet RoHS guidelines that restricts the use of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexevalent chromium, and two polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) in electronic and electrical equipment. PBB and PBDE are flame-retardants. www.libertycable.com
