We’re excited to share the news that one of our customers—Dimension Data, a global IT services and solution provider—announced today that they selected Enviance to manage energy and waste reduction goals as part of its voluntary efforts to understand and reduce its environmental impact.

Enviance is thrilled to help Dimension Data with its efforts to centralize and manage its carbon emissions. By switching from spreadsheet reporting to Enviance’s Internet-based Environmental ERP solution, Dimension Data is now able to track and report emissions data throughout its organization while recognizing new ways to manage and mitigate its environmental impact.

Given Dimension Data’s focus as a specialist IT service and solution provider, we are especially proud that they recognized Enviance’s Environmental ERP as the best to system to manage, monitor and reduce energy and emissions waste.

Dimension Data is also a voluntary member of the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), a global organization that collects GHG emissions and climate change data from 2,500 organizations in 60 countries around the world. Launched in 2000, the not-for-profit CDP aims to fast-track climate change solutions by harnessing the collective power of corporations, investors and political leaders world-wide and put climate information front and center in business, policy and investment decisions. By utilizing its global network to gather data, the CDP can accelerate unified action on climate change and international carbon reporting standards.

Climate change knows no national boundaries, and we are proud to be working with Dimension Data and support their efforts to report emissions data to the CDP and advance climate change solutions.

Executive Order (EO) 13514, "Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance," was signed by President Obama on October 5, 2009 to establish an integrated strategy towards sustainability in the Federal Government and to make reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) a priority for Federal agencies.

Among other determinations, the EO established specific goals regarding GHG emissions, water and energy efficiency; pollution prevention and waste elimination; sustainable federal buildings; and, environmental management.

Enviance has just released an interactive and educational webinar about how Federal Agencies will have to track, manage and report their GHG emissions under EO 13514 and how it compares to the existing EPA regulations.

Learn more about the differences and commonalities between what Federal agencies and for profit companies have to comply with in terms of:

• Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions

• GHGs required to be counted and reported

• Emissions calculation methodologies

Each year, IDC Energy Insights and Intelligent Utility magazine rank the Top 25 Intelligent Utilities based on productivity, renewable energy, smart initiatives, demand respond/energy efficiency (DR/EE) and IT investment.

We are proud to note that out of the top 25, nine of the companies are Enviance customers including: Sempra Energy, PG&E, NV Energy, AEP, Alliant Energy, Southern Company, PPL Corporation, Northeast Utilities and DTE Energy.

The Enviance Value: The report authors note that “we also gave extra marks for utility companies that regularly report on sustainability or corporate social responsibility, including carbon disclosure.” All the utility companies that work with Enviance have put a significant value on reducing their carbon emissions, and it is great to see both IDC and intelligent Utility recognize the importance of this goal.

The 2010 rankings conclude with the advice that the best way to stay on the list is to keep investing in intelligent technology. Enviance is committed to do our part by delivering our utility customers a cloud-based Environmental ERP system that allows them to confidently report accurate levels of carbon emissions.

Congrats to our utility customers!

Cap and Trade, global warming and environmental legislation are hot topics in the media nowadays! California will also face a major crossroads in regard to its clean energy and air pollution control standards in the upcoming November elections.

Prop 23 will be on the ballot for voters to decide if California can move forward or should stop the implementation of AB 32 - a cap and trade system to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions to 1990 levels by 2020.

“With the future of AB 32 hanging in the balance in the November election, the need for objective information about the legislation is paramount. With customers on all sides of the AB 32 debate, Enviance is in a unique position to provide a neutral forum for an objective debate on the merit of AB 32.” Darryl Gordon, Enviance VP of Marketing.

The Enviance AB 32 Knowledge Center houses webinars, videos, white papers, opinions pieces and research on AB 32. Visitors will also find links to other important resources on the subject and the opportunity to vote on an interactive pool about their opinion on AB 32.

Please visit our AB 32 Knowledge Center today and share this information with your co-workers and friends.

Larry Goldenhersh is the CEO and President of Enviance, a company that has introduced the industry’s first 60-day GHG FastTrack program. The program allows industry and government to quickly and affordably track greenhouse gas emissions in order to comply with the Environmental Protection Agency’s air emissions reporting requirements.

Basically like Turbo Tax for greenhouse gas reporting, the program allows companies to log into their Enviance Account, plug in raw data, and compute a greenhouse gas footprint online.

Today Goldenhersh talks to NetGreen News about the company’s mission and the GHG FastTrack program.

The new challenges posed by Climate Change and regulatory agencies, like the EPA rigorously enforcing compliance with the Clean Water Act (CWA) and the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, require companies to adopt a global, corporate view of their water resource needs.

Enviance has put together a Water Management Success Kit that compiles practical, educational materials to help companies manage water resource risks strategically while reducing their exposure. The Success Kit includes:

• Enviance Webinar: Greg Pulliam, Senior Manager Industrial Systems, Water & Process from CH2M Hill and compliance specialists from Georgia Pacific and Entergy share their experiences using the latest technology to manage water programs

• Enviance White Paper: Water Management: Climate Change and Compliance

• Enviance Case Study: Read how Entergy developed a proactive Wastewater Management Program to save time and reduce 50% of NPDES violations

• EPA Memorandum: Read the latest memorandum from EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson

• UN White Paper: Climate Change and the Global Water Crisis: What Businesses Need to Know and Do

 With greenhouse gas (GHG) and other pollutants meeting increased  scrutiny worldwide, governmental agencies have put multiple regulations and environmental programs in place to tackle this growing problem. Meeting these rapidly evolving emissions permitting and reporting requirements by tracking information separately, using multiple systems and spreadsheets has proven to be a waste time, money and personnel.

Enviance has just released a new White Paper to help you better understand and learn how to handle the issue. This educational White Paper exposes how a centralized Environmental Management System can help your company effectively track and manage data to achieve:

• Cost savings

• Increased confidence in data reporting
 
• A more accurate view of your compliance status
