LRN and GreenOrder Unite to Help Businesses Inspire Principled Performance

Los Angeles and New York, November 18, 2008 – LRN today announced it has acquired GreenOrder, a leading "green" strategy and management consulting firm. Together, the companies are providing businesses with new solutions to inspire principled performance.

"GreenOrder and LRN have traveled very similar paths, successfully helping leading organizations produce not just performance, but principled performance," said Dov Seidman, CEO and chairman of LRN. "There is significance in the fact that we are uniting at a time when businesses are both becoming more humanized and, with the economic crisis, more scrutinized. LRN and GreenOrder offer a unique ability to help companies, in a more connected and transparent world, better relate, behave and innovate in their workplaces, communities and environments, creating new and enduring value and enabling them to succeed and be sustainable over the long term."

Founded in 2000, GreenOrder has advised some of the world’s leading companies on how they can turn energy and environmental innovation into greater business value. Called “the go-to consulting company for green business” by Fortune, GreenOrder is best known for advising General Electric on the creation and implementation of its award-winning “ecomagination” initiative and has also been a trusted advisor to senior management at BP, DuPont, General Motors, JPMorgan Chase, Pfizer and Polo Ralph Lauren, among other industry leaders.

The addition of GreenOrder, now a wholly owned subsidiary of LRN, strengthens LRN’s domain expertise in energy and the environment, climate change and corporate social responsibility, and the joint company will create new scalable solutions in these areas. GreenOrder will continue to operate its consulting business as an LRN Company.

With enhanced education, engagement and communications solutions; managerial tools and practices; and advisory services, the joint company is differentiated in its ability to turn principle into practice and values into business value. LRN and GreenOrder bring new benefit to business by helping companies translate their human, social and environmental principles into behaviors that provide commercial advantage, enabling them to win in the marketplace by outbehaving the competition. In the process, companies ensure compliance, ethical leadership and social and environmental responsibility.

"The powerful combination of LRN and GreenOrder will greatly enhance our ability to help companies move from developing sustainability strategies to implementing them in ways that pay off,” said Andrew L. Shapiro, GreenOrder’s founder and president. “To make environmental innovation work, companies need tools and resources to make green part of their DNA on an ongoing basis."
