Business drivers for purchasing carbon management systems
According to the Verdantix Market Survey published in March 2011, the top drivers are:
• Cost reduction 87%• Track financial data on energy spend 53%• Consolidate consumption data 47%• Acheive energy targets 27%
The Challenge: Strategically
• High levels of risk• Lack of transparency – assurance – compliance• Lack of confidence in reports• Poor audit – ability of the data• Disconnected and inconsistent paper trail• “Known Unknowns”• Disconnected reporting• Reporting generated by geographic structure• LSE mandatory reporting requires matching with financial reporting structure• For maximum use, reports need to match the organisation management reporting structure
The Challenge: Operationally
•Disparate and Illusive Data Sources•Disorganised Paper Trail•Complex Spreadsheets– Time Consuming– Multi-site Challenges– Risk/Error Reduction– Consistency & Compliance– Rapidly Evolving Methods/Emission Factors– Verification, Transparency, Audit Difficulties– Cross Reporting Standards– Data Inconsistency
Increased Forensic Scrutiny of Audit Trails•Static – lost opportunity
