ATLANTA--(Business Wire)--
SED International, Inc., a leading wholesale distributor of
computer, consumer electronics, and cellular products announced today
the kickoff of SED Goes Green, a campaign focused on improving the
environment and reducing power consumption.

   "We felt it was beneficial to formalize a program around our green
initiatives," said Jonathan Elster, Executive Vice President for SED
International. "This adds focus to something that is very important to
us. There are also some great things our vendor partners are doing
that we want to recognize with more exposure."

   SED Goes Green encompasses initiatives within four categories:
Office, Shipping, Printing, and Products. Office initiatives relate to
things done in and around SED locations around the world, such as
increased recycling and the use of high-efficiency lighting. Shipping
initiatives are highlighted by environmentally friendly paper
cushioning used in SED packed boxes. Printing initiatives are centered
around marketing materials printed on FSC certified recycled paper.
Product initiatives involve highlighting products and manufacturers
that feature green technologies.

   SED will be communicating details about what it and its vendor
partner are doing to help the environment beginning in June, with
updated details available on its website at www.sedonline.com/green.

   "This is not just a one month campaign, this is SED's commitment
to continuously improve in our efforts to protect the environment,"
Elster stated.
