FSV Celebrates Earth Day

April 22, 2010

Happy Earth Day! This day presents an opportunity to reflect on what we're doing to protect the planet, and at FSV, we're doing a lot! 

Our products and services make it possible for employers and employees to significantly diminish their impact on the environment. When employers print paychecks and wage statements for their employees, there's a greater impact than ink and paper wasted and all the toner cartridges and printers in landfills. Employers have to route paper checks and pay stubs to multiple locations, and the checks are rerouted elsewhere for cashing, which wastes a lot of gas and generates greenhouse gas emissions needlessly. 

FSV's electronic payroll solutions revolutionize the entire process - eliminating unnecessary waste, while generating cost savings and productivity gains. 

FSV's PaychekPLUS! paycards make direct deposit available to employees without bank accounts, allowing them to participate in electronic payroll "green" initiatives.  And the environment profits enormously as businesses transition to electronic pay. For every 10,000 employees that receive their pay on paycards and transition to electronic pay, the environment benefits annually from:

• 770 trees / 63,685 pounds of paper saved
• 2,024,687 gallons of wastewater prevented
• 8.64 dump trucks of paper waste avoided
• 68,618 gallons of gas saved
• 3,786,750 pounds of CO² equivalents prevented

These are quantifiable, annual environmental benefits that to help prove that our clients and their employees care about their impact on the Earth.  We're proud to help them make a difference!
