VIVA TRANSCRIPTION RECEIVES PRESTIGIOUS GREEN CERTIFICATION

- Demonstrates ongoing commitment to protecting the environment -

SANTA CRUZ, CA (January 4, 2010) – VIVA Transcription, a leading provider in medical transcription services, announced that it has been named a certified “Green Business” by the Uniform Standard for Green Business Certification (IGBC/USGBC www.gbcertified.com ) as a result of its environmentally friendly initiatives it implemented in 2009.

“Simply by encouraging the office staff to drink safe tap water instead of purchasing bottled water to printing documents on both sides of the page, VIVA Transcription is making an effort to reduce its carbon footprint,” stated Manuel Prado, CEO. “This prestigious designation recognizes the green friendly initiatives VIVA Transcription has introduced in the areas of recycling, water and energy conservation, waste reduction and environmentally friendly purchasing.”

USGBC is believed to be the oldest organization of its kind to certify business environmental practices and VIVA Transcription was required to submit a detailed and thorough audit of its eco-friendly practices as part of the rigorous process to secure its certification. The thirty-eight page audit evaluated VIVA’s green initiatives in ten key categories and VIVA received top scores in all ten.

“Not only do our green practices save our organization money, but they also result in happier customers and a healthier planet,” added Prado. “We are thrilled to have received this prominent certification for our efforts and we commit ourselves to even further initiatives in 2010 and the years to come.”
