CA, Inc. has unveiled CA ecoSoftware products that are designed to help enterprises to manage the implementation, progress and outcomes of global sustainability initiatives more effectively, to measure and report reliably on energy and natural resource consumption, to account for carbon emissions and to reduce energy costs across the datacenter and facilities. CA offers a comprehensive solution addressing sustainability management, carbon management, environmental assessments and operational energy management.
The two new CA ecoSoftware products include CA ecoGovernance 1.5, a carbon and sustainability management solution available On Demand via Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), which was recently accredited by the Carbon Disclosure Project, and CA ecoMeter 1.5, an on-premise operational energy management solution. Delivered 100% over the Web, CA On Demand solutions are available anywhere, fully secure and rapidly scalable.
"Energy security, climate change legislation and a groundswell in public opinion on the need for more sustainable business models, make sustainability a Board Room issue -- not just a lip service issue," said David Metcalfe, CEO at Verdantix. "With this increased level of interest comes the need for organizations to manage energy, carbon and sustainability efforts across the business in a more efficient way. CA ecoSoftware delivers the capabilities organizations need to better track the rapidly changing regulatory requirements for carbon accounting, and they provide a roadmap for managing broader sustainability and energy management efforts."
Better Manage Sustainability Initiatives Across the Enterprise
CA ecoGovernance includes a centralized repository and management dashboard that provides sustainability officers, energy and carbon managers, and other employees with visual tools for gaining improved control over enterprise-wide sustainability initiatives. It offers a common source of data based on a shared set of terms and categories, helping to facilitate collaboration, and serves as a fully-auditable system of record. CA ecoGovernance also features advanced sustainability program and project management capabilities, the ability to evaluate progress against business objectives, and automated survey assessments for use internally and externally (with suppliers or other third parties).

•Calculate, track, and manage carbon emissions and other environmental activity including water and waste •Measure consumption and spend associated with energy and natural resources •Enhance supply chain visibility with supplier assessments •Improve stakeholder engagement and communication •Evaluate sustainability investment decisions •Mitigate risk and track compliance with energy mandates
