Carbonetworks™ supports Carbon War Room

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – February 18, 2010, Carbonetworks™ a leading software company that provides performance management for energy, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and sustainability solutions, is pleased to announce its support of the Carbon War Room. CEO and founder Michael Meehan will be participating in forums on sustainability and business this week in Vancouver, BC Canada.

The Carbon War Room works to identify and fill the gap between cities' knowledge about what needs to be done, and the capital required to implement change. Business leaders, including Carbon War Room co-founders Sir Richard Branson and former Costa Rican President Jose Maria Figueres, are working together at the conference to establish successes and failures for each major constituency and to work through finance mechanisms and live case-studies of how problems are being addressed.

Branson issued the Green Capital Global Challenge - an opportunity for commerce to partner with cities to help reduce carbon emissions, bridging the capital gap.

“We are pleased and proud to be working with City Mayors and business visionaries like Branson at the Carbon War Room” said Meehan, “the collaboration between mayors, vendors, and the finance community should catalyze new partnerships to improve the energy efficiency of the built environment, while delivering positive results to the economy.”

While Carbonetworks software helps companies, governments, and cities globally manage and reduce GHG data on a robust but easy-to-use system, their network leverages a global network of partners, resellers, and energy reduction providers to help clients access the reductions they need to execute their sustainability strategies. The network includes Green IT vendors, carbon reduction and verification companies, energy services firms, and financial institutions, spanning hundreds of companies in over 40 countries.
