SPOKANE, WASH.—Ecova announced that it has obtained accreditation from CDP as a silver software partner for the fourth consecutive year. The accreditation reflects Ecova’s continued commitment to helping its clients meet the highest standards of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions accounting while simplifying the process for calculating and reporting with the use of Ecova’s Carbon Management Solution.
“Ecova’s Carbon Management Solution is a valuable resource for companies reporting to CDP,” said Paul Robins, CDP’s head of corporate partnerships. “Alongside calculating GHG emissions, their software houses business analytic tools for forecasting, scenario modeling and project tracking, and we are delighted that they will continue to be a CDP silver software partner in 2015.”
CDP is an international, not-for-profit organization providing the only global system for companies and cities to measure, disclose, manage and share vital environmental information. Considered the de facto reporting system for carbon management actions, more than 5,000 companies from 207 cities within over 80 countries reported to CDP’s various programs in 2014. Every year, CDP’s reports and leadership index act as a meaningful measuring stick for companies to compare their efforts to manage their climate impacts and capture business value from climate-related opportunities. Accredited partners of CDP work to encourage the highest quality reporting and disclosure of data related to climate change, such as carbon emissions.

“Pitney Bowes’ partnership with Ecova in the management of our utility data for carbon reporting purposes has been extremely helpful in enabling us to respond to the CDP climate change and supply chain questionnaires in a timely manner,” said John Thaler, Director, Global Environment, Health and Safety for Pitney Bowes. “Pitney Bowes adopted Ecova’s Carbon Manager Software in 2014, which further improved our ability to consolidate our global carbon footprint data, calculate greenhouse gas emissions and simplify data transfer to CDP. Ecova’s assistance has reduced the manual labor necessary for this reporting process, improved data integrity and has simplified our achieving third party verification.”
