Submissions Now Closed – Which Schools Will Progress to the “Environmental Eight”?

Two weeks ago Enviance, in partnership with GreenBiz Group and Qualtrics,  invited students and staff of the recently announced “Sustainable Sixteen” schools to submit supplementary materials demonstrating why their school deserves to advance to the next round of Enviance’s Second Annual Environmental March Madness (#EnviroU) Tournament. 

Since then we have received an unprecedented number of outstanding submissions – all told, students and staff sent in more than 800 photos, 150 essays and 30 videos! Now that the submissions period is closed, our expert panel of judges are busy going through all of the materials in order to determine which of the remaining sixteen schools will advance to the next stage in the competition.

We will be announcing the “Environmental Eight” on March 28, so stay tuned! You can also receive real-time updates on Twitter by following @enviance and #EnviroU.

 

The Results are in from our Annual EUEC Survey!

Now that EUEC 2013 has wrapped, we wanted to share with you some revealing feedback from the show floor.  We surveyed the environmental professionals at the show about how regulation and sustainability issues are affecting their companies and organizations – and wound up with some surprising results.

Here are the key takeaways from our 2013 survey:

• Carbon Tax: This year’s survey showed that two-thirds of respondents do not have a plan in place to manage the financial risk associated with the imposition of a cost on carbon, either through cap and trade or a tax.  In last year’s survey, more than three-fifths of respondents said they thought the imposition of a carbon tax would impact their organization.

• AB 32: Is AB 32—under which California initiated its first carbon credit auction in November 2012—a paper tiger or is it simply too early in its implementation for companies to feel its impact? At EUEC, 72 percent of those surveyed said they thought AB 32 would not have any sort of impact on their organization.

• Regulation Reporting Systems: Nearly half of respondents with emission reporting requirements indicated that they had no actual reporting system in place. Of the group without any reporting system, about one-third reported that they were not currently evaluating any systems to help them meet their reporting requirements.

• Water Management: Two-thirds of respondents said that water management is of equal or greater value to them as managing carbon emissions. This is a big increase from 2012 when more than half of respondents indicated that water management was either of no importance, or less important than carbon emission reporting.

• Election Results: 77 percent of attendees said they believe the results of the presidential election will mean an increase in environmental regulations over the next four years.

EUEC is here! Our booth and speakers are ready!

For the fourth consecutive year, the Enviance team is in Phoenix to exhibit and present at the Energy, Utility & Environment Conference, January 28-30, one of the largest conferences of its kind in the country.

Just like in years past, we have boots on the ground surveying conference attendees, speakers and exhibitors about how compliance and sustainability issues are affecting their companies and organizations. We’ll then issue our findings during the conference (you can see last year’s press release here).

We’d love to have you stop by our booth #616 at the exhibitor’s hall and take a few minutes to meet us and fill out the short survey. You’ll be able to pick up some fun giveaways as a thank you.

We have two different Enviance executives speaking at the conference discussing a variety of critical environmental and sustainability topics. Make sure you don’t miss their presentations:

• Larry Goldenhersh, Enviance President and CEO, will be session chair and present on “National Cap & Trade Legislation — What You Need to Know to Prepare,” in the Energy Policy track on Tuesday, January 29, from 7:30-9:30 a.m. in room 222C.
• Mickey Landkof, Enviance Senior Sales Engineer, will present “Addressing the Changing Oil & Gas Regulatory Landscape with Cloud-based Compliance Solutions,” in the Managing Risk & Project Finance track on Wednesday, January 30, from 7:30 a.m.-9:30 a.m. in room 222C.

We hope to see you all in Phoenix – and get your thoughts for our survey!
