Sustainability Leaders Say Tracking and Reporting Systems Fall Short
October 17, 2011
Green Research, a New York-based corporate sustainability research and advisory firm, has released a study of the market for sustainability performance management systems – IT systems that help companies monitor, track and analyze environmental and sustainability data. These systems are crucial tools for large and medium companies that want to bring professional management standards to their sustainability programs. The study found that while sustainability executives at leading companies are broadly satisfied with the accuracy and completeness of the data in their current systems, those systems fall short in other ways. The study also finds that dissatisfaction by sustainability leaders with current systems, coupled with spending plans, equals opportunity for vendors in this crowded market, including companies such as CSRware, Carbon Systems, e3 Solutions, Enablon, Enviance, ENXSuite, FirstCarbon Solutions, Hara, ProcessMAP and Verisae, to name a few.

The utilities' C&I customers also were the first to make the connection between energy management and saving money on energy. Soon independent third-party companies like Verisae developed strategies for medium and smaller C&I clients to increase their energy efficiencies.“The first step is to perform an energy audit of their client's facilities,” said Paul Hepperla, vice president of product strategy for Verisae. “We needed to identify energy consumption and the loads that are available for control.” According to Hepperla, “On the average, the energy audits identified 80 kW to 120 kW of reductions at each facility by good management practices.

Working with Suppliers on Sustainability Issues Can Reveal Hidden Benefits
January 25th, 2011
While significant national greenhouse gas regulations have not come to fruition, sustainability still remains one of the top initiatives for progressive organizations. Often, their interest stems from the fact that most sustainability projects reduce negative environmental impacts while also reducing costs significantly. Thus, these initiatives are a win-win for organizations.Let's consider a couple of facts. In a survey of chief executive officers who are members of the United Nations Global Compact, 93% declared that sustainability would be critical to the future success of their businesses. Separately, Wal-Mart calculated that it is directly responsible for just 10% of its overall greenhouse gas emissions, meaning that 90% are attributable to the business operations of the company's supply chain....Read full Chain Store Age article by Verisae's Lara Greden here
