Press Release Summary: Galley Eco Capital has become the latest Bay Area Company to
join the Business Council on Climate Change (BC3), a partnership of San Francisco
Bay Area businesses committed to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and
advancing corporate environmental leadership.

Press Release Body: Galley Eco Capital has a history of taking action to protect the
environment. They now join a list over 82 BC3 member companies dedicated to taking
action to address global climate change, while maintaining a competitive bottom
line. "Participating in the BC3 is a natural step in our commitment to both grow our
business and be environmentally responsible" says Lisa Michelle Galley. "We are
excited to work with other members of the BC3 to develop innovative, profitable
business approaches that also directly address the growing threat of climate
change."

The BC3, a collaborative partnership with the Bay Area Council, the San Francisco
Department of the Environment and the United Nations Global Compact, is poised to
make the San Francisco Bay Area a model of commercial climate stewardship by
inspiring leadership on the pressing issue of climate change, and giving business
leaders the tools to reduce their GHG emissions. The BC3 recognizes that the
business community has the power to significantly impact climate change, and it
functions as an avenue for communication between companies that have stepped up to
the plate to address this challenge. The BC3 seeks to inspire others to do the
same, and to build a business movement for climate stewardship.

"The Bay Area has always been an engine of business innovation and growth combined
with social responsibility and companies like Galley Eco Capital are a reflection of
that environment and culture" said Andrew Michael, Bay Area Council Vice President
of Sustainable Development. "They and other visionary BC3 members are proving that
the protection of the environment is clearly aligned with the protection of profits
and market share."

The BC3 is built around five "Principles on Climate Leadership" which relate to the
areas of: Internal Implementation, Community Leadership, Advocacy & Dialogue,
Collective Action, and Transparency & Disclosure. These principles are founded on
the belief that private business can shift practices to realize economic growth
while maintaining environmental sustainability.

"The addition of new members gives us a great opportunity to redefine how business
is conducted in the Bay Area," says Jared Blumenfeld, Director of the San Francisco
Department of the Environment, "and to show that we can surpass the status quo."
