Logica and CarbonSim awarded emissions management project for Ford Motor Company
Logica, a major international force in IT and business services, today announced the extension of its project with Ford Motor Company to provide an emissions management solution throughout the organisation. Ford will use EMISSIONS logic, developed by Logica and partner CarbonSim, to monitor and manage manufacturing-related environmental data worldwide to support its corporate sustainability objectives.
Logica and CarbonSim were initially awarded the emissions management project with Ford in 2005 to centrally manage facility greenhouse gas emissions. The EMISSIONS logic solution has since been developed, in line with Ford’s requirements, to now manage comprehensive plant-specific environmental metrics including energy, water, waste, and overall performance against internal environmental objectives and targets. In addition, the system is used to track all applicable environmental regulatory requirements at the local, national, and international levels. The extended solution will be deployed throughout Ford's manufacturing operations around the world, including 70 manufacturing sites in 17 countries.
EMISSIONS logic also cost-effectively manages companies' compliance with emissions trading schemes by: tracking their greenhouse gas emissions and compliance against obligations; managing their emissions allowances and credits; evaluating strategies and projects for emissions reduction and generating internal and external reports.
Jim Tapper, managing director for global energy and utilities, Logica, comments: “By working together, we’ve extended the functionality of the Emissions logic solution to meet the business challenges that are faced by Ford on a daily basis and we are delighted to be working with Ford to help to manage its compliance with a whole raft of emissions management regulations. We’ve added a new waste methodology based on European Waste Policy, a new water methodology, and a new energy methodology. What started as a project to monitor emissions of greenhouse gases, has evolved dramatically to become all encompassing and take into consideration wider environmental issues.”
Craig Windram, CarbonSim’s Chief Executive Officer, said: “EMISSIONS logic will provide Ford with a comprehensive solution to manage its global emissions, ensuring compliance with national, regional and global regulations. The development of the EMISSIONS logic solution alongside Ford is testimony to Ford’s continued commitment to environmental improvement and to the importance that it attaches to managing company emissions, as well as to the strengths of EMISSIONS logic.”
