Carbon Trust and CRedit360 Launch the Value Chain Manager to 'Revolutionise' Carbon Reduction in the Value Chain

Carbon Trust and CRedit360 Launch the Value Chain Manager to 'Revolutionise' Carbon Reduction in the Value Chain PR Newswire CHICAGO and CAMBRIDGE, England, November 30, 2012 CHICAGO and CAMBRIDGE, England, November 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Carbon Trust and CRedit360 today launch the Value Chain Manager, which uniquely brings together the combination of leading Cloud-based sustainability software with unrivalled expertise and carbon reduction data, based on a decade of Carbon Trust experience. Value Chain Manager will help large organisations measure, manage, and reduce indirect emissions and ultimately capture the associated cost and reputational benefits of doing so. According to Carbon Trust research as much as 80% of a company's total carbon impact lies outside their direct operational control (i.e. their Scope 3 emissions). Every tonne of carbon emitted needlessly represents a cost of between £200 and £400 per tonne to a business, based on today's energy prices. The business case for reducing direct (Scope 1 and 2)carbon emissions is well established, with reductions of between 20-50% being achievable through proven, cost effective measures such as energy efficiency. Many companies have utilised software to help measure and report these reductions, and with a decade of experience, CRedit360 has led the market in providing such sustainability and carbon reporting solutions.
