BOCA RATON, FL, December 30, 2010 (Press-News.org) Trust Marketing Group recognizes how vital it is to incorporate environmental stewardship in the conduct of business, including the efficient and sustainable use of natural and economic resources, which incorporates practices such as energy conservation and preservation of biodiversity. Trust Marketing Group is committed to understanding the impact our organization has on the environment and working to continually improve our environmental performance, while encouraging our suppliers and customers to do the same.

To this end, we seek to adhere to principles addressing the following 3 areas, and to support these principles through specific initiatives. Our goal as an organization is to address these key aspects of our environmental performance as members of the direct marketing community:
PRINCIPLE AREAS

POSSIBLE INITIATIVES IN SUPPORT OF PRINCIPLE AREAS

B. We Offer Notice & Choice
1. We provide periodic notices and opportunities for prospects to opt in or opt out of receiving future marketing contacts from our organization.
2. We offer customers a choice to receive communications from our organization electronically.

C. We Test Market Offers

II. DESIGN, PRODUCTION AND PRINTING IN OUR MAIL, MARKETING AND COMMUNICATION MATERIALS
We strive to design and print our advertisements and other communications in an environmentally responsible manner, and we communicate our environmental expectations to our supplier(s). Wherever feasible, in designing and printing communications, we look at opportunities for source reduction. We also communicate our goals to our suppliers. To this end:

A. We Reduce the Amount of Waste
1. We test and use production methods that reduce print order overruns, waste allowances and in-process waste.

III. PAPER PROCUREMENT AND CLEAN PRODUCTION

We strive to procure, use, and recover paper in a manner that helps to ensure the sustainable use of forests and other natural resources. In support of this principle:

A. We Research & Understand Our Investment in Paper
1. We partner, meet or dialogue with other companies, environmental groups and/or local community groups to better understand their concerns.

IV. USE OF PAPER IN PACKAGING
Trust Marketing Group believes that sourcing environmentally preferred papers and other materials is only a beginning. Equally important is efficient use of papers and materials once they are purchased.

V. RECYCLING AND POLLUTION REDUCTION IN OUR WORKPLACE AND COMMUNITY
Trust Marketing Group's policies and initiatives in this area are guided by the Three Rs: "Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle." With this in mind, we seek an efficient and environmentally sensible workplace, as well as to promote environmental stewardship in our community. Toward this principle,
