New Internet-Based Tool Helps Companies Meet EPA Mandate in 60 Days or Less

Good news for organizations looking for a cost-effective and reliable way to track air emissions and kick start a corporate sustainability program—this week, Enviance announced our new Greenhouse Gas (GHG) FastTrack program, an all-in-one solution for companies to quickly and effectively measure, track, and report greenhouse gas emissions and meet new federal regulations.

Designed to help companies comply with the EPA’s mandatory reporting rule, which requires about 10,000 U.S. facilities start tracking and reporting air emissions, Enviance’s GHG FastTrack is fully implemented in 60 days or less and withstands rigorous third-party auditing.

We’ve put our 10 years of industry experience into developing GHG FastTrack to meet the consistently changing requirements of Environmental ERP. Read more on what the industry is saying or visit our website for details and key dates for the EPA’s rule.

First reports are due to the EPA on March 31, 2011 for 2010 emissions. Is your company ready?

Enviance Surveys Energy Industry Execs and Influencers

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 12:25:43 -0500

At this week's EUEC conference in Phoenix, we surveyed 117 industry executives at random on controversial energy topics ranging from readiness to record carbon emissions to reactions to Obama’s State of the Union address.

We found clear divisions in response to greenhouse gas legislation and only a small number of companies prepared to report and manage carbon emissions, despite high awareness of pending regulations from the EPA and SEC. Here are our key findings:

Systems in Place: A surprising 61% of companies surveyed responded that they have no current system in place to record carbon emissions.

SEC Reporting: In regards to the new guidance to be promulgated by the SEC for disclosure of climate changed-related risk (as detailed in President Obama's State of the Union Address), 44% of respondents voiced support for the guidance and related carbon reporting while 56% disagreed that such reporting was necessary. The results show a clearly divided opinion on the issue.

Cap & Trade or Tax: When asked about the impact of the setting a price on carbon via either cap and trade or tax, 46% of respondents commented that their company will need to dramatically reduce their GHG emissions in response to such an event.

Prioritizing GHG: Half of respondents indicated their company’s desire to implement green best practices as the primary driver behind prioritizing GHG compliance, while only 34% indicated federal legislation as the reason.

Great news today out of Enviance. We topped Groom Energy Solutions’ newest Enterprise Carbon Accounting (ECA) report, being named as an industry leader in carbon management based on financial stability, number of customer deployments, strength of technology and corporate vision.

Check out Groom Energy Vice President Paul Baier and Enviance CEO Larry Goldenhersh’s comments: http://www.forbes.com/feeds/businesswire/2010/01/19/businesswire134199217.html

Of the 60 carbon management software vendors reviewed in the ECA report, we scored among the highest in each category, according to Groom Energy. Our score reflected our success in the past 12 months, including securing deals with some of the world's leading companies and the U.S. Army, which powered us to a profitable year-end 2009.

With the carbon management market set to quadruple in the next three years, all of us at Enviance are excited to help companies effectively track, report and manage their GHG emissions.
