WOODBRIDGE, NJ–(Marketwired – Jul 22, 2015) – Raymond Saluccio, Founder of SolarCure™ is pleased to announce the appointment of Brigadier General (Ret.) Harris J. Kline as Chief Legal Officer (CLO) of SolarCure™. General Kline will play a critical role as SolarCure™ moves its working sustainable blueprint to create both a positive societal and environmental impact for our country and particularly its veterans.

General Kline has served numerous tours throughout the world and received countless medals, accolades and awards both foreign and domestic for his outstanding support of the United States Air Force’s Legal Corps. While on active duty, General Kline helped close Clark Air Base, Philippines and personally practiced before Filipino judges, securing the release of 63 U.S. servicemen on international hold for which he won the American Bar Association’s Distinguished Service Award. He was the first Reservist to serve as Head of the Air Force Legal Office at both the American Embassy in Canberra, Australia and at Payar Lebar Air Base, Singapore.

He recently triumphed during his tour to the Republic of the Congo to teach the Rule of Law to its newly founded professional military; which he did in their native French.

This solar powered branding tool enjoys approval from the myriad and vast majority of consumers who desire to purchase products and services from companies that concomitantly and positively serve and provide for our global societal and environmental needs.

“To have the leadership of General Kline and all his talents that led him to great success in his illustrious military career has already created a sense of calm and order in the hectic and challenging environment often associated with start-up companies such as SolarCure™.” Raymond Saluccio

General Kline has completed a series of in-depth briefings on SolarCure’s business practices and model and has become fully familiar with all aspects of the endeavor. He is in full support of and agreement with SolarCure’s mission, goals and objectives to improve global environmental welfare as it provides secure futures for veterans and healthy profits for investors.

“As I looked deeply into this company, my initial thought was how many positive effects this organization [SolarCure] will have on our country, our deserving veterans, and the environment as a whole to ensure a greener more positive world for future generations. During several meetings with SolarCure’s Founder, Raymond Saluccio, it became clear to me that this established businessman, inventor, named Ernst and Young’s 2011 Entrepreneur of the Year Finalist, is capable, motivated, determined and poised for success to improve the environmental and independent fuel position of this country while securing positive professional careers for our deserving veterans and enhanced financial profits for investors one adopted solar panel at a time.” Brigadier General (Ret.)

SolarCure and Impact Investing: How Corporate America is Trying to Do More Good

August 14, 2014 By

examiner

 

 

 

 

While a return on an investment is still vital, the bottom line doesn’t control how an investor evaluates his or her assets as much as it once did. Investing in profitable technology and satisfying a desire to do good aren’t mutually exclusive.

Ventures such as SolarCure, a company that connects businesses and investors to solar panels and veteran support, are making a case for the growing field of impact investing to become a permanent part of investors’ portfolios.

SolarCure is a platform that links corporate sponsors with solar panels that are more than energy absorbers. The investors, similar to highway donation projects, “adopt-a-solar-panel.” And all of these sponsored panels are later installed at buildings connected to the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

“I designed SolarCure to create wealth while making companies into a force of good,” SolarCure CEO Raymond Saluccio said. “We’ve just re-branded a company as eco-friendly and veteran-friendly.”

This trend in social responsibility investing is growing. U.S. assets in companies like SolarCure increased from $639 billion in 1995 to $2.71 trillion in 2007, according to GIIRS, a ratings and analytics nonprofit that tracks impact investing and is funded as a partnership among Prudential, Deloitte, the Rockerfeller Foundation, and USAID. That asset growth represents a 324 percent increase over those 12 years.

Even after the initial meteoric rise capital involved in impact investing continues to make gains. J.P. Morgan and the Global Impact Investing Network of 125 major fund managers, foundations, and development finance institutions said in a 2014 report $46 billion in impact investments were under management, a nearly 20 percent increase from the prior year.

Though a rapidly growing field, investors struggle to find suitable and veritable companies that can fulfill missions while still making that return on investment.

Investors are finding it daunting to sort “through the host of impacts and corresponding range of investment instruments,”according to a study from RBC Global Asset Management.

A 2013 report from the World Economic Forum Investors Industries indicates, “Traditional financial institutions can get comfortable with impact investing, given the right framing and the right champions within the companies.”

Enter SolarCure, which Saluccio thinks can be that champion. The company’s name draws on the sun’s restorative powers, and its mission lives up to that promise. SolarCure attempts to not only solve the impact investing problem, but also issues involving global warming and unemployed veterans.

SolarCure works with organizations such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legions, who often aid our returning soldiers in securing and maintaining jobs. The jobless rate for all veterans is 6.6 percent, with 9 percent among post 2001-veterans, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

Companies invest in a solar panel system that provides renewable energy to a veterans’ facility for at least 25 years. According to the SolarCure website, the money veterans’ groups save in energy costs allows the nonprofits to devote more resources and better focus on their veterans-based mission.

Saluccio says its savvy companies like SolarCure and its investors that will answer challenges facing the 21st century.

“It’s a paradigm shift. We’ve always had this grasp of how to make a profit, but the social entrepreneur looks to make purposeful profit. Look back at the history of Wall Street and the Industrial Revolution,” he says. “We definitely know how to make a profit, and we definitely know how to ruin the planet. Mankind has left this footprint of destruction, but I’m trying to erase that footprint, while also making a profit and helping corporate America do good.”

Ultimately, Saluccio wants the flip the script in what motivates people to invest—purpose in the same breath as profit. His way to accomplish that end, he says, will still yield the end result of profitability, but investors can feel better what their money is going toward.

“Traditional business nature is ‘profit before purchase.’ I’m just trying to put profit and purpose on the same ground,” he says.

“If the byproduct of every company’s income success was a force of good, we wouldn’t be faced with the problems we have now. You wouldn’t see polluted waters, and you wouldn’t see smog. Our children would have clean, safe places to play, and there would be more green energy being created. If I can make every company a force of good while I make them a profit, I can reverse that.”

For its work so far, the New Jersey chapter of Employer Support for the Guard and Reserve awarded SolarCure with the Seven Seals Award for “pledging its support of veteran employees serving in all branches of the military reserves.”

SolarCure’s mission aligns with the Obama administration’s stated goal of reducing the country’s dependence on foreign energy. Since Obama took office, the country has reached a 20-year low on foreign oil imports, according to the White House. The president’s mindset is to both economically—through new American jobs—and ecologically benefit the United States, and Saluccio is on board.

“Business can make America’s energy independent. If every company can put a drop in the bucket, it will eventually get full, and all our energy will become green. We’ll be energy independent, and corporate America can get us there. I’m just trying to do it one solar panel at a time,” he says.

SolarCure Offers impact Investment Vehicle to Promote Sustainable Businesses Across the Nation

June 10, 2014 By

SolarCure offers investment to transform businesses to the force of good while leading the way for impact investing

 

Colonia, NJ – June 6, 2014 – At a time when consumer demand for purpose-driven brands and investor hunger for purpose-driven investment opportunities both are increasing, a New Jersey company is offering businesses and investors a triple win of supporting veterans and VFW posts, greening the environment through solar energy and reducing the nation’s dependence on foreign energy sources. It is a formula that offers a powerful return on investment to all clients.

SolarCure, based in Colonia, New Jersey, is a cause marketing firm that recruits business sponsorship of solar panels for VFW posts to help them reduce energy costs while providing the sponsoring businesses green and veteran-friendly purposeful marketing that strengthens their own brand. SolarCure is the brain child of Raymond Saluccio, an established inventor, businessman and entrepreneur.

With SolarCure businesses can invest in a better future, as it engages with any businesses in the nation to adopt part of a solar array for a veteran organization. SolarCure offers any business an eco-friendly, and veteran-friendly brand, packaged with 25 years of inspiring patriotic content.

Once each solar panel system installation is completed, web based monitoring software will provide a constant feed of the multiple patriotic and environmental benefits each project provides.

Directly benefiting from this support will be the VFW posts that are seemingly forgotten. VFW enrollment nationally has dropped from 1.8 million in 2004 to 1.4 million today, according to the VFW headquarters in Kansas City, Mo. The number of posts worldwide has dropped from more than 9,000 to approximately 7,000 during that time.

Businesses can now quickly and affordably engage with SolarCure to support these posts while gaining a strong purpose-driven brand. Businesses can simply adopt part of a solar array to be installed at a VFW post. This adopted solar array will support the post with a reduced energy bill at no cost to the post. The purpose-driven branding then continues as the adopted solar arrays will improve the environment and create a more green-energy-friendly America.

This purpose-driven branding is affordable. For a low one-time cost, any business can become a sponsor of a solar panel. To date SolarCure has reenergized company brands across diverse business sectors, including automotive care, banking, credit card processing, education, floral, HVAC, insurance, IT, landscaping, law, manufacturing, printing, sports and recreation and trucking. As each solar panel generates power for its VFW post, the adopting business’ brand will be leveraged through generations to come.

SolarCure is seeking an outside investment to capitalize its operation. This investment will provide an aggressive return to investors, conservatively 100 percent return on investment dollars, according to Saluccio. Risk has been minimized as the SolarCure model has already begun to   show positive returns for businesses. By design, investment and SolarCure together create dividends both with financial gain and also with great social impact. SolarCure’s unique product offerings will sustain investors and give clients powerful brand leverage and 25 years of patriotic content to influence the company’s image and consumers.

SolarCure comes at a time when consumer demand for purpose-driven brands is increasing and investors are hungry for opportunities to invest in purpose-driven businesses. Business coach and entrepreneur Brian Whetten, writing in the Huffington Post, noted that the question in today’s board rooms is “how can business be more of a force for good.” Writing in Advertising Age, Bob Liodice, president of the Association of National Advisors, noted that 73 percent of surveyed marketers believe “brands with societal purpose will drive more business growth.”

At the same time Willy Foote, founder and CEO of Root Capital, and Tracy Palandjan, co-founder and CEO of Social Finance Inc., wrote in Stanford Social Innovation Review that “investors crave these new opportunities” and pointed to the launch of Morgan Stanley’s Investing with Impact Platform as proof.

Investing with Impact was launched in November 2013 with a five-year goal of $10 billion in investment in a range of products targeting social responsibility and environmental sustainability. Shortly afterward, Goldman Saks followed by raising $250 million for its social impact fund.

“SolarCure is positioned to sustain investors, our nation and our veterans,” Saluccio said. “Impact investing is ready to break out from is niche of philanthropy-minded funders and capture the imagination of mainstream international investors. SolarCure has now captured the imagination of a nation and with little assets to be acquired it will become the poster child of sustainable impact investing for generations to come.”

SolarCure also has engaged in offering veterans careers, committing to hiring at least one veteran per solar panel installation job in its nationwide solar installations.

COLONIA RESIDENT AND BUSINESS OWNER ADOPTS VFW POST #6061

May 25, 2014 By

COLONIA RESIDENT AND BUSINESS OWNER ADOPTS VFW POST #6061
Launches Operation Allegiance, a grass roots effort to encourage similar adoptions nationwide

Colonia, NJ – May 28, 2014 – Ray Saluccio never served in the military but is serving today, having “adopted” Veterans of Foreign Wars Post #6061 in Colonia, New Jersey. Saluccio, a resident of Colonia and owner of two local businesses, can frequently be seen making repairs to the post, maintaining the grounds or power-washing the building. He also negotiates with vendors to secure goods and services at lower prices and donated $1,200 toward the post’s roof repair.
Saluccio funds his adoption of Post #6061 through his two businesses – SolarCure, a cause marketing firm, and Astro Sweep Inc., a parking lot power washing service – and his own pocket.

Through SolarCure, which recruits business sponsorship of solar panels for VFW posts to help them reduce energy costs while providing the sponsoring businesses with green and veteran friendly purposeful marketing, Saluccio is working toward installing a solar array at Post #6061. To date he has enlisted 16 businesses toward financing the installation.

Future work on the post Saluccio will sponsor and, in many cases, perform himself will include painting the building, providing LED lighting for the interior and exterior and paving the parking lot.

“Ray has put his heart and sweat into all he has done for us,” said Romano Peretti, the post’s quarter master. “He is a trusted advisor who knows how to get things done.”

“I am convinced that the viability of these great veteran organizations should be a byproduct of a group effort,” Saluccio said, “an effort where small and mid-sized companies create a more sustainable future for these great organizations by offering support, both financially and through helping hands.”

Toward that end Saluccio has launched Operation Allegiance, a grass roots effort to encourage other businesses throughout the United States to adopt local VFW posts and provide ongoing support.

As U.S. veterans age, enrollment in the Veterans of Foreign Wars has dropped from 1.8 million in 2004 to 1.4 million today, according to the VFW headquarters in Kansas City, Mo. The number of posts worldwide has dropped from more than 9,000 to approximately 7,000 during that time and posts are closing throughout the nation as the country’s veteran population passes on. More than 45 percent of U.S. veterans are aged 65 or older.

“These posts, which provide such important services to their members and to the community as a whole, no longer can sustain themselves through membership fees alone,” Saluccio said. “They open their doors to local fundraisers and go out into the community to support local causes. Adopting a post and providing ongoing support is an ideal way for businesses to say thanks.”

Saluccio has long had a passion for the nation’s veterans. While family obligations kept him from enlisting, his father was a veteran and others throughout his family served, as well.

“Someone has to step up to help these organizations,” he said. “There are so many great organizations serving veterans but I think today people have forgotten the VFW posts. My father was a veteran and I have veterans throughout my family and I wanted to help.”

Saluccio points to the sponsors he has recruited for the proposed solar installation at Post #6061 as proof of the breadth of businesses that can lend their support to local VFW posts. Business sectors among the sponsors include advertising, automotive care, banking, credit card processing, education, floral, HVAC, insurance, IT, landscaping, law, manufacturing, printing, sports and recreation and trucking.

“All these businesses already are supporting Post #6061 by helping the post work toward conversion to solar power,” Saluccio said. “The next step is to convince other businesses through the nation to adopt local VFW posts and help them take care of their daily needs, as well. That’s what Operation Allegiance is all about.”

Lakewood, NJ – (2-18-14) The Lakewood BlueClaws, a minor league baseball team that plays at FirstEnergy Park in Lakewood, NJ, has recently become the nation’s first sports team to join SolarCure’s “Adopt-a-Solar Panel” Marketing Program.

As part of the program, they sponsor a solar panel that will be installed as part of a complete solar array on the roof of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 6061 thus truly making a lasting difference in the lives of Veterans.  This solar panel installation will provide extra income through SRECs and generate free and clean energy for at least 25 years.
