October 17, 2007—Manhattan CenterStone, Inc., Inc., a full service provider of a Web-based global integrated workplace management system (IWMS), is empowering organizations to reduce their carbon footprint (CFP) and gain competitive advantages by integrating, monitoring, and communicating CFP-related data throughout the enterprise, says the company.
An organization’s CFP is the measurement of the impact its activities have on the environment, in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases produced.
Real estate, facility and property managers, board members and other top executives are provided real- time insight into current environmental performance, compared against internal targets and external benchmarks, says the company.
The Web-based Manhattan CenterStone dashboard delivers this information to audiences beyond the traditional real estate departments. Energy consumption and other types of CFP-related data from the broader enterprise, is integrated and delivered directly to business leaders concerned with issues impacting the organization as a whole.
Manhattan CenterStone says that many enterprises are realizing the benefits of green initiatives, and are placing an increased emphasis on ensuring their corporate real estate portfolio mirrors this focus. The company explains that its dashboards provide the customization, collaboration and insight necessary for an organization’s executives to ensure its current performance meets and exceeds industry levels.
Manhattan CenterStone also provides an automated CFP calculator that incorporates carbon off-set at the property level, and the dashboards allow flexible user-customization-CFP can be broken down by property portfolio, geographical region, individual properties, or energy type. The dashboards can be tailored according to an individual’s role within the enterprise, and according to a specific property sector, such as commercial, retail, industrial or others.
