George Clooney will become an executive board member of a new Swiss energy company.
The new company, which will develop environmentally friendly techniques for car motors, batteries and other devices, is aimed at reducing CO2-emissions in energy consumption.
Clooney will sit on the board alongside Swiss astronaut Claude Nicollier and others, as confirmed by Clooney’s spokesman, Stan Rosenfield to The Associated Press. Details are not yet available as to when the new company, which has yet to be named, will be launched.
George Clooney, a self described ladies man is known for his charming ways and has been linked to a string of gorgeous women, but he is also known for his determined humanitarian efforts and his relationship with another lady – Mother Earth. Clooney has lent his name and support to the ONE campaign, along with friends Matt Damon and Brad Pitt. The initiative fights AIDS and extreme poverty on a global scale. He is also a strong supporter of Save Darfur. His efforts to promote green living through environmentally sound practices has been well regarded by environmentalists globally.
Showing compassion for life and the environment further distinguishes George Clooney from the majority of his peers within the Hollywood film community. Good looks and charm would have been enough for some – but his caring attitude for those in need is golden.
