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