Carbon Accounting Heats Up

While it’s uncertain how the Waxman-Markey energy bill will progress after passing through House committee, one thing is for sure: greenhouse-gas regulation is now on the C-level agenda. This week, Businessweek.com published a very informative CEO guide that illustrates how leading companies are using sophisticated tools to measure their environmental impact and meet emissions targets. As you might expect, Enviance is discussed as a leader in enterprise carbon accounting.

A long-time customer of ours, American Electric Power (AEP), was interviewed as well. As one of the largest emitters of CO₂ in the country, AEP is a shining example of how to manage and report GHG. Using Enviance, AEP was able to develop one system to consolidate GHG data and generate reports with a wide range of requirements. For more background on our work with AEP, check out our case study.
