Energy Corporate are uniquely qualified to advise on carbon accounting and reporting because of our expertise in both developing large scale emissions tracking and reporting systems, and in auditing the same types of systems and offsets as independent verifiers approved by the Federal Government.
The on-going nature of this type reporting and the detail required for compliance and business improvement purposes requires careful consideration. The temptation to focus on developing a system that will satisfy compliance issues can be an expensive and time consuming mistake. Government schemes are in place to ‘encourage’ a reduction in emissions and energy consumption, so compliance and reporting are only part of the process. Try to avoid solutions with a compliance centric focus.
Business systems that incorporate both carbon accounting and business intelligence functionality will derive much more valuable information and intelligence on their organisation for almost the same effort as those with a compliance centric focus. If done correctly, it will be the first time for many to get an in-depth understanding of how and where energy is consumed within their organisation.
Being able to compare performance, operating costs, emissions and consumption of different stores, production lines, and plant will lead to ways of identifying opportunities to reduce significantly costs, consumption and carbon liabilities.
Consideration should also be given to integration with other data systems, suppliers, and contractors. The right system should free up staff and enable the team to focus on reducing costs, emissions, and waste.
The need to outsource reporting is now unnecessary expense, as competent staff can be trained to manage the data collection and reporting process in a short period.
Energy Corporate have put together a range of turn-key solutions that feature fully compliant and business intelligence systems, staff and contractor training and support. Call us to discuss your options today.
