Leads Document Process Outsourcing Category in "2007 Black Book
Green 50"

STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 11, 2007--Pitney Bowes Management Services (PBMS), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE:PBI) has been selected as one of the top ten-ranked outsourcing vendors for environmental stewardship, according to a recent Brown-Wilson Group independent study of industry decision makers and analysts. PBMS also ranked first in the category of "Document Processing Outsourcing."

Vincent De Palma, executive vice president and president, PBMS, explained that environmental stewardship is a key priority for the company. "Environmental responsibility is the right thing for the environment, for our customers and our shareholders. "

De Palma, who presides over the company's outsourcing unit, stated that a commitment to protecting the environment is also practiced on-site at its 1,600-plus customer locations throughout the U.S.

"Our products help our customers not only improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their business processes, but also reduce their environmental impact. For example, our mailstream optimization services and equipment help customers manage records electronically, increase response rates and save money on postage costs while reducing energy, fuel, waste, paper, printing resources and greenhouse gas emissions."

De Palma also noted that at some customer locations, PBMS employees participate in Earth Day activities, with a focus on energy and resource conservation.

Scott Wilson, partner, Brown-Wilson Group and co-author, "The Black Book of Outsourcing," stated that, "environmental concerns have entered into a formal selection process of outsourcing vendors. The influence of consumer and investor opinions for green corporate accountability, and the creation of new government regulations in favor of protecting the environment have pushed green issues onto the boardroom agenda and onto outsourcing vendors' growing plate of priorities." He added that, "beyond labor savings and operational re-engineering, outsourcing clients now seek top-line and bottom-line contributions from their suppliers."
