Northshore Process Service and Green Initiatives

 

For nearly two decades, Northshore Process Network has been synonymous with commitment, integrity and professionalism in the legal community. Since its inception in 1993, its diverse body of multi-lingual support staff, information specialists and specialized legal professionals led by a highly motivated management team have built a reputation which remains the cornerstone of a firm which today operates in 40 countries around the globe. As a respected company renowned for servicing the needs of the legal, corporate and governmental arenas, the firm has also established a green reputation based on its socially responsible and environmentally sound business practices.

 

After processing and filing millions documents globally stemming from everything from foreclosures and debt collections to insurance subrogation and civil proceedings, it is easy to imagine the immense resources spent and carbon footprints left behind in the form of gas emissions, wasted paper, energy and the like. However, Northshore’s commitment to the sustainable management of the environment and green movement overall is shown through its various policies and state-of-the-art procedures which are utilized in its daily operations. For starters, their proprietary technology allows clients remote web access for data exchange and access to document images from multiple channels, including a user-friendly forum. Their Process Servers, Court Runners and Couriers utilize company resources with custom applications which enable clients and offices to file, track, retrieve and feed off of real-time updates.

 

Unlike the outdated analogue, bricks and mortar business models of last century, today’s litigation support firms operate largely in a digital environment and need to apply the latest technological advances to stay efficient and keep up with social, environmental and business demands of their clients. The aggregate result means lower legal fees passed on and more trees and a cleaner, greener planet left for us and future generations. As for the limited amount of paper which is utilized in its operations, it is nearly 100% FSC-Certified recycled from carbon-neutral production facilities using recycled water. More importantly, the company advocates paper reduction and the use of electronic paper and filings, PDFs and data storage systems as opposed to filing cabinets. This further drives down costs by putting less emphasis on physical storage facilities, security personnel, loss prevention, etc. which rise exponentially when the bricks and mortar approach is used.

 

Ironically, the piles of photocopied documents, storage cabinets, photocopy machines and so on all used to be signs of a busy, successful litigation support firm. Times have certainly changed but oddly enough, many old-school companies hold on to the antiquated ways of doing business even though the cost of hard drives and going digital continues to tumble. Not only is this socially irresponsible but also it is environmentally hostile.

 

As proactive stewards of the environment, Northshore Process Network personnel even rely on public transit, bicycles and shared hybrid service vehicles when conducting business, especially in the city centers where parking is at a premium and driving is cost-prohibitive. With thousands of gallons of gasoline saved and thousands of driving miles avoided, the results means much cleaner air and cheaper legal fees passed on to clients.

 

Other ways conservation, preservation and ecology consciousness are demonstrated are through the firm’s use of compact fluorescent light bulbs in all office locations and satellite offices worldwide. Aggressive recycling programs are also in place for ink cartridges, bottles, cans, cardboard, files, etc.

 

Northshore Process Service has also aligned itself via its leveraged supply chain relationships exclusively with select shippers and vendors who exercise and commit to green initiatives. Business travel is used sparingly with more emphasis put on video conferencing software and Skype usage.
