Super Group implements global carbon accounting solution

Supply chain management business, Johannesburg based Super Group, announced its implementation of Greenstone Carbon Management's Acco2unt software solution to measure, manage and reduce its environmental impact, 4-traders.com reports.

This step will assist the JHB Securities Exchange listed company's drive to improve its environmental performance across a broad-based supply chain management business. "The software allows us to review the impact of carbon emissions during current operations and also model and forecast emissions for any planned business growth," said Nigel Redford, Group Company Secretary at Super Group.

Using Greenstone's Acco2unt solution, Redford said, Super Group has measured its baseline carbon footprint for the past two financial years. Travel and transport accounted for 88% of emissions, primarily due to Super Group's large fleet of company vehicles. "[Acco2unt] makes the whole process of tracking our emissions quicker, easier and more cost-effective. We are able to track and monitor our carbon emissions in each of our divisions and set focused reduction targets," he said.

Acco2unt enables Super Group to identify opportunities to reduce its environmental impacts, set specific targets for business activities or regions and monitor performance over time in order to ensure that the associated financial savings are achieved. It allows Super Group to track and manage the carbon emissions across its three operational divisions. According to 4-traders.com, Greenstone's Acco2unt implementation partner in South Africa, Cleaner Climate, a specialist climate change consultancy, is now working with Super Group to develop a carbon emission reduction programme.
