Emerald - Sustainable Growth in the Green Economy

More and more companies such as you are paying attention to the economics of the "triple bottom line". Where the sustainability of a business is measured by the performance of its People, Planet and Profit. For, “what gets measured gets managed.”

You would agree that in today’s times not considering these factors is not a smart plan. It will inevitably lead to a lowered financial bottom line of any company in the long-run. But if you understand the environmental impacts of your products across the value chain and are able to innovate and respond fast to meet those challenges, you will be in the right shape to beat competition and stay ahead.

This way you lower your costs, while ensuring lowered carbon impact of your products. You don’t just grow, you thrive. And because you are green, you make yourself seen above the rest, as today’s environment conscious consumers make more and more greener purchasing choices!

Our solution, Logica Emerald, helps you get there.

How does Emerald help you?

It helps you prepare for the future of business economics by balancing economic, environmental and social factors. Emerald helps you measure carbon emissions produced in the entire process of production, storage, distribution and recycling of your products. All in real time. So you can gauge ways to benefit from figuring out energy savings in transportation, storage or even distribution.

How? By helping you strategise to adopt greener methods of operations, choosing closer suppliers/distributors for your products so you save on transport emissions, or choosing energy efficient storage solutions with reduced green house gases.

Emerald measures the carbon equivalent of the six most harmful green house gases. It assesses your carbon footprint right from the transportation of raw materials to your factories, to the amount of energy and water consumed to produce and store your goods, to the transportation of these products to retailers. It doesn’t stop there. It also helps you calculate the carbon footprint involved in the means of disposal of these products as well as in their recycling.

Powered with this information you can make informed decisions.

You can choose to procure raw materials from the right sources or choose the right partner to distribute your goods. And figure myriad other ways where you could lower your carbon emissions and energy and fuel consumption.

Carbon labelling of products does influence consumer behaviour as you stand out of the crowd for being greener and more environmentally responsible. And with consumers being more environment conscious than yester years and choosing to purchase more green friendly products, you stand to benefit even more.

It affects supply chains in positive ways as well. But the challenge lies when there are more than one sub products and vendors involved. Here is where Emerald helps you best.

Being a web-hosted solution, Emerald allows partners in your supply chain including vendors to view and fill in details of carbon emissions in only those areas that apply to them. This way you can gauge the carbon footprint, energy and fuel consumption of each area separately and so take a lateral view on how to manage and adopt greener operational methods.
