Planet Footprint Announces Launch of Its Premium Carbon Management Service

Planet Footprint, in partnership with CarbonView, have announced the launch of Australia's only carbon scorekeeping service for local government. The Planet Footprint Premium Carbon Management Service will be offered to all Australian Councils from today, and gives Councils access to a complete end-to-end service for carbon measurement, reporting and management.

The service builds upon Planet Footprint's existing scorekeeping service which is currently delivered to over 170 Councils nationally. Like the existing service, the new Premium Carbon Management Service will deliver full management of the carbon data collection process by Planet Footprint, detailed environmental and carbon reporting, and national and international benchmarking and profiling.

The Premium Service will also give Councils access to CarbonView, an advanced software tool for carbon reporting, modeling and management.

"The Premium Carbon Management Service will enable Councils to achieve full ownership and management of their carbon emissions, without spending unnecessary time collecting and managing the data needed to report those emissions," said Andrew Wales, Managing Director of Planet Footprint.

Planet Footprint has selected CarbonView as its software partner for the Premium Service because of CarbonView's comprehensive and practical approach to carbon management.

"CarbonView understand the fundamentals of carbon scorekeeping, and have developed a software tool that provides the exact functionality needed by Planet Footprint for delivery to Australian local government," said Mr. Wales.

Councils that subscribe to the Premium Carbon Management Service will also have access to a team of sustainability, IT and engineering specialists to assist in applying the service within the Council.

Because Planet Footprint works with Councils during the scorekeeping process, each Council will retain full ownership of their data and build greater internal capacity for dealing with climate change," said Mr. Wales.

Councils will be able to move quickly beyond talking about greenhouse action and be able to focus more time and money on actions to improve their carbon performance. We are delighted to support Planet Footprint with this strategic initiative," said Fadi Geha, Managing Director of EcoView Technologies, CarbonView’s Master Distributor.

The Planet Footprint Premium Carbon Management System is available to Councils on an annual subscription basis.
