Don’t Waste Your Time Tracking Emissions Data

For large carbon emitters, June 1 is the most important day of the year. June 1 is Environment Canada’s deadline for reporting Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions for the previous calendar year.  The report is due for every site that emits more than 10,000 T CO2e, regardless of whether the site is in the output-based pricing system or not.  
 
For many companies, utility bills go straight to accounting. Unfortunately, those who need the data for reporting and conservation purposes are disconnected from those in the organization receiving the utility data for payment. This typically results in significant and unproductive administrative time as sustainability managers go back and forth with colleagues in accounts payable to get the data they need.

THIS IS WHAT YOUR COMPANY SHOULD DO INSTEAD

 

Show Utility Bill The Love. Make Him a Rock Star.

Consider the constant, humble Utility Bill.  Bill shows up like clockwork each month to tell his customers how much energy and water they used and how much it cost.  Yet the only thing the customer pays attention to is the money they owe. Looking at him, they think, “Boring Utility Bill.” Only Accounts Payable will talk to him. 
 
The cheque is cut. The payment is posted.  No one gives Bill a second glance. He has quietly delivered a simple, single message. Utility Bill has so much more to offer others throughout the company, but he is typically unappreciated and ignored. Utility Bill disappears under layers of other paper. “Poor Utility Bill”. He has become buried treasure, a diamond in the rough.
