| Singapore To Lead The Way With Carbon Management Tool Pilot | |
| Six innovative organisations sign up to the first web based carbon management tool pilot programme which is supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board (SEDB). | |
| The CarbonNeutral Company, a
world-leading provider of carbon reductions solutions, is to pilot an
innovative web based carbon management solution supported by the Singapore
Economic Development Board as part of the Urban Solutions Programme.
Within the pilot, six leading organisations will measure and manage their
carbon emissions online in order to develop offset inclusive carbon
reduction programmes that will reduce costs, build a strong environmental
position and prepare them for future regulations.
The solution combines CarbonView, a web based carbon management tool software, developed by international supply chain consultancy Viewlocity, with the carbon reductions expertise of The CarbonNeutral Company. Due to the global capability of the software, this initiative will facilitate the use of internationally approved methodologies, to be used by all industry sectors, to produce a robust and uniform baseline measurement of greenhouse gas emissions in Singapore. The leading organisations that will participate in the carbon management pilot are City Developments Limited, WongPartnership LLP, Jebsen & Jessen (SEA) Pte Ltd, Pan-United Concrete Pte Ltd, Drydocks World – Singapore Pte Ltd and The National University of Singapore. The CarbonNeutral Company will work closely with these organisations to help them measure their carbon footprints and then develop offset inclusive carbon reduction strategies. Rani Virdee, Managing Director - Asia Pacific, The CarbonNeutral Company said, “Our experience shows us that organisations that implement carbon reduction programmes with stretching targets will benefit from reducing operational costs, winning more business and enhancing their corporate reputation. These six innovative organisations have the unique opportunity to lead Singapore businesses.” Goh Chee Kiong, Director for Cleantech and Urban Solutions, Singapore Economic Development Board said, “As a small and highly urbanised city state, carbon management is a key capability that Singapore needs to develop to enhance its competitiveness in a carbon-constrained global economy. As rapid urbanisation takes place around the world, cities are starting to face challenges similar to those of Singapore; this innovative carbon management pilot not only has the potential to address Singapore’s emissions reduction needs but can also be scaled up for use in other cities and countries as a methodology to reducing emissions.” In support of this announcement, Kavita Gandhi, Executive Director, SEAS (The Sustainable Energy Association of Singapore) said, “We welcome the launch of this web based, easy to use, carbon reduction management tool which will encourage Singapore organisations to include carbon management as part of their business strategy. This tool will enable small, medium and large organisations to become more competitive as they measure and reduce their carbon emissions. |
