WhiteWave is a national leader among organic dairy companies, recently joining EPA’s Climate Leaders program, and on the forefront of green power purchasing for the past 3 years.
In June of 2007, Natural Logic working in partnership with Clear Carbon Consulting completed a greenhouse gas inventory to determine their baseline footprint, enable them to understand major impacts and prime improvement opportunities.
Work included:
- Gathering usage data on an array of fuel types
- Using region-specific and fuel-specific emission factors to determine greenhouse gas footprint
- Ensuring quality control for auditability
- Summarizing trends and assessing GHG reduction opportunities
A key piece of the work was using our Business Metabolics to facilitate site benchmarking and trend analysis.
