By implementing Web-based operations, facilities and real estate management solutions with more than one-third of the Fortune 100 companies, TRIRIGA has found that many organizations today prioritize measuring and understanding their exact carbon footprints and levels of energy consumption. With TREES, TRIRIGA is giving customers a clear path to improved and measured environmental performance – the company calls this “carbon health” – and its Customer Advisory Board (CAB) members were integral to the design and development of the software. CAB members participating in this week’s Building a Sustainable Future user conference span a range of industries, including: financial services, life sciences, technology, media, telecommunications, consumer and industrial products, retail and energy. CAB membership is up 35% this year, and environmental sustainability is a central focus.
At the conference this week, TRIRIGA customers and CAB members will join energy and green building luminaries including Marc Heisterkamp, Market Development Manager for the U.S. Green Building Council, George Bouri, Principal in Deloitte's Strategy & Operations Consulting Practice and Dr. Stephen Stokes, Vice President of Business and Climate Change for AMR Research. In addition, Senator Fred Thompson, a strong supporter of market-based solutions for solving America’s carbon emissions challenges, will deliver the keynote address. Senator Thompson will discuss impending federal regulations surrounding environmental sustainability and their impact on businesses.
“Adapting to and developing sustainable business practices should be axiomatic for all businesses, as they provide a potent change management and business improvement vehicle to reduce bottom-line costs via energy-efficiency measures, optimization of transportation, and logistics, storage, and waste,” said Dr. Stephen Stokes, Vice President of Business and Climate Change for AMR Research. “At TRIRIGA’s conference, I look forward to discussing how organizations can cross the great divide and create authentic leadership and strategic sustainability for a Carbon Healthy Organization.”
“Rising energy costs and impending government regulations on energy and buildings are some of the top concerns among the Fortune 1000 today, and those organizations need a reliable and immediate way to translate corporate environmental goals into results,” said George Ahn, President and CEO of TRIRIGA. “We help organizations achieve results today by giving them the tools they need to focus on their buildings, the largest environmental culprit contributing to 48% of green house gas emissions. We are excited that our traditional real estate and facilities customers and TREES customers are all coming together at this historic conference. Our TREES customers are showing their peers how to set a strong and early example when it comes to drastically improving environmental performance and preparing for the regulations on the horizon.”
TRIRIGA’s Building a Sustainable Future conference is taking place at the Las Vegas area’s Green Valley Ranch Resort from October 21-24. Customers including key Fortune 100 organizations will present case studies on how TRIRIGA and real estate management factor into their corporate environmental performance plans.
