Enablon, the world's leading provider of sustainability software solutions, has been named an "Enterprise Carbon Accounting (ECA) Emerging Leader" in a report released today from Groom Energy, a provider of renewable and energy efficiency solutions to organizations across the U.S. The research, titled "2010 Enterprise Carbon Accounting (ECA): An Analysis of Corporate-Level Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emission Reporting and a Review of GHG Software Products," recognized Enablon as an ECA Emerging Leader among 60 vendors initially identified and 20 vendors profiled in the report.

The Groom Energy ECA Emerging Leaders vendor ranking was based on a weighting system of:

• Number of customer deployments,


• Technology features,


• Market vision,


• Financial stability.

"Our prediction that 2009 would be the year of enterprise carbon accounting came to fruition," said Paul Baier, report author and vice president of consulting services for Groom Energy. "Enablon's growth in the past year and its impressive list of customers made it a definite choice for us as we determined the emerging leaders for 2010. I would recommend that companies looking to manage and track their GHG emissions seriously consider the products from Enablon."

"Today, the majority of projects around carbon management and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions not only involve emissions tracking but also significant focus on forecasting and emissions reduction" said Phil Tesler, CEO of Enablon North America. "Although carbon management is accepted as part of the cost of doing business, many companies have found effective carbon management has yielded substantial cost savings."

As the world's largest sustainability software provider, Enablon has been providing global companies with solutions to measure and reduce their environmental impacts while improving their bottom line. Enablon software solutions are used by more than 200,000 users in 250 global companies and ten thousands SME's around the world.

Leading companies use Enablon solutions to manage their compliance programs, measure, reduce and report on their environmental impacts, such as greenhouse gas emissions, and improve their environmental and business performance internally and throughout the supply chain. Several Enablon's customers are listed in the ECA report: Airbus, Anglo American, Bombardier, Bosch, Carrefour, Centrica, PGE, Timberland, Total, Tyco, Woolworths.

The momentum of customer wins reflects Enablon's growing leadership position in the market for carbon management software from services and consumer goods industries to emission-intensive industries such as utilities, oil & gas and manufacturing companies.

"In each instance, these companies are not waiting on new environmental mandates like cap and trade to limit carbon emissions, or global policy agreements," said Tesler. "They are pushing ahead, even expanding their sustainability and carbon management programs, with more comprehensive and holistic GHG emissions control projects, and more robust and sophisticated software solutions to support them."

"While many companies are committed to being better corporate citizens, their sustainability strategies are also being driven by the recognition that resource efficiency and emissions reduction are essential to both the bottom-line and longer term growth prospects. For industry-leading corporations, effective management of carbon use and emissions represents a business opportunity with both near and longer-term benefits," Tesler said.
