Enviance Becomes Founding Reporter of the Climate Registry
Industry Leader Takes Action on Climate Change
WASHINGTON, DC and CARLSBAD, CA - August 4, 2008 - Enviance, the leading provider of Internet-based systems for the management and automation of environmental, health and safety (EHS) compliance activities and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions management, today announced that it has become a Founding Reporter of The Climate Registry by being among the first to join the organization. The Climate Registry is a non-profit organization established to support organizations throughout North America in measuring and publicly reporting GHG emissions in an accurate and transparent manner consistent across industry sectors. Thirty nine U.S. states, nine Canadian provinces, six Mexican states, three native sovereign nations, and the District of Columbia are founding members of the organization.
"Enviance has demonstrated exemplary environmental leadership by courageously stepping forward to support The Climate Registry in its preliminary stages. We are deeply grateful for their integral support in helping to address the challenge of climate change," said Gina McCarthy, Chair of The Climate Registry.
A forerunner in environmental compliance management serving government organizations and the energy, utility, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries, amongst others, Enviance has demonstrated environmental stewardship on several fronts by voluntarily committing to measure, independently verify, and publicly report their GHG emissions on an annual basis utilizing The Climate Registry General Reporting Protocol. The protocol is based on the internationally recognized GHG measurement standards of the World Resources Institute and World Business Council on Sustainable Development.
Headquartered in Carlsbad, California, Enviance delivers Internet-based software that automates and manages all activities pertaining to EHS compliance activities and GHG management in real-time. The company's Internet-based compliance management platform is deployed in 45 countries, serves over 10,000 users, and was recently named by a third party independent research group as the market's only Internet-based EHS compliance and GHG emissions management platform.
"The Climate Registry is a leader in driving critically important greenhouse gas reporting throughout the U.S. and across our borders, and we are extremely proud to be a Founding Reporter," stated Lawrence Goldenhersh, president and CEO of Enviance. "To reach the next level, all reporting organizations must assemble accurate, auditable, and standardized data to provide real visibility into the scope and size of the greenhouse gas challenge - and the Internet is the only platform that can provide the speed and scale for the reporting required. Enviance is proud to have achieved two 'firsts' in Internet-based greenhouse gas reporting with the 2006 deployment of the Enviance System to track and report greenhouse gas emissions for American Electric Power, one of nation's largest generators of electricity, and with our June 2008 implementation to produce the first Carbon 'Bootprint' at the U.S. Department of Defense."
The Climate Registry is a non-profit organization that supports greenhouse gas emissions measurement, verifications, and reporting for organizations throughout North America in a single, unified registry. The Registry supports both voluntary and mandatory reporting programs, provides meaningful information to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and embodies the highest levels of environmental integrity. The Registry was incorporated in Washington, D.C. by several regional greenhouse gas reduction programs in March 2007. For more information, please visit theclimateregistry.org.
