Peacock, CEO and managing Director of Green Globe International,
Inc. "Her experience in designing and delivering environmental
solutions for industry, as well as her leadership on numerous
industry boards and committees, will provide Green Globe with
critical insight as it seeks to expand its reach into new markets
in the United States and around the world." Ms. Mostafaei
commented, "After taking the time to familiarize myself with Green
Globe International and its strategic plan to grow the company, I
am happy to join the Board of Directors. I believe that there are
tremendous synergies between Green Globe International and Ship
& Shore Environmental, including projects involving our new
Green Energy Industrial Solutions division. I look forward to
working with the Board to chart a successful future for Green Globe
International." Ms. Mostafaei is a leader in the design,
engineering and manufacture of green solutions for industry. After
graduating from the University of Colorado with a degree in
chemical engineering she began her career at Flour Daniel as a
project engineer working on nuclear, chemical and petrochemical
projects for the worldwide market. After leaving Flour Daniel, she
became involved in helping manufacturers meet VOC (Volatile Organic
Compounds) abatement challenges by providing customized energy
efficient air pollution abatement systems. Ms. Mostafaei is a
leader in the field of VOC abatement solutions. Each engineering
solution is custom designed to not only help a client meet their
environmental obligations but also contemplates how each facility's
unique manufacturing practices and requirements will be integrated
into the design and operation of the best pollution abatement
solution. Her in-depth process knowledge and expertise provide the
foundation for designing superior, innovative, efficient equipment
and reliable technologies that help industry to collect and destroy
air pollution emissions. For many years Ms. Mostafaei has served,
and continues to serve, as an advocate for manufacturers through
active participation on several boards and committees, including
serving as BACT (Best Available Control Technology) committee
member for the SCAQMD (South Coast Air Quality Management
District), board member of Western Region SPI (Society of Plastics
Industry) Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) group, board member of CFECA
(California Film Extruders & Converters Association) and FBF
(Film & Bag Federation). Board and committee participation,
along with planning of meeting agendas and annual conferences, has
enabled Ms. Mostafaei to develop close relationships among the
membership of these organizations. As a member of the Society of
Plastics Industry she serves on the Public Policy Committee and
Environmental Council and has met with legislators and testified at
government hearings on behalf of industry. Her knowledge and
experience with combustion equipment such as thermal oxidizers,
catalytic oxidizers, boilers, burners, carbon and zeolite
adsorption, etc. is primary to her business. In addition, heat
recovery and energy consumption reduction is an integral part of
each engineered solution. Due to the economic and market demands on
businesses to reduce operational costs Ms. Mostafaei has utilized
her knowledge and experience to expand the line of products and
services offered by her company to meet these needs. To better
address client requests for help with the ever-increasing
regulations on manufacturing such as global warming and carbon
footprint reduction issues, Ship & Shore Environmental, Inc.,
under the leadership of Ms. Mostafaei, recently launched a new
division known as Green Energy Industrial Solutions. Her vision for
this new entity capitalizes on years of experience gained while
helping her clients implement a variety of energy reduction
strategies including alternative energy sources. These strategies
not only provide a positive payback to a client's bottom line, but
also reduce their carbon footprint by addressing greenhouse gases
emissions and positively affecting corporate sustainability
programs that promote "green branding". As an active board member
of the Network of Iranian Professionals of Orange County (NIPOC)
she also founded the engineers and architects division of NIPOC.
She is an active member of Orange County's Strategic Business Group
which is a networking group of Iranian-American professionals, and
helped with development of the Iranian Cultural Center Orange
County (ICCOC) which promotes learning about the Persian culture
through classes and social activities. In addition to her many
years in leadership positions and participation as a board member
and committee chairperson for several trade associations, she has
also dedicated herself to helping impoverished children improve
their lives through health and education assistance. These
volunteer activities have included fundraising, committee and board
membership for several non-profit organizations over the years such
as Discover E Program (youth promotion for engineering schools),
United Way, Child Foundation, and Children's Hope International
Literacy and Development (CHILD). The Green Globe brand and
program, which traces its roots back to the United Nations Rio de
Janeiro Earth Summit in 1992, where 182 Heads of State endorsed the
Agenda 21 principles of Sustainable Development, has primarily been
used in the travel and tourism industry but is now being expanded
to include a growing number of environmentally responsible
businesses in a variety of market sectors. The Green Globe brand is
an ideal symbol for the world's increasing awareness of
environmental responsibility and response to global climate change.
