Presentation Title:

With New ESG Data Demands, Engineers Will Lead the Way Toward Sustainable Operations

Abstract

As organizations become more committed to reducing their carbon emissions and building more sustainably, the need for precise, real-time, all-encompassing data grows greater. There is growing internal/external pressure for companies to publicly commit to sustainability and transparently share their progress. And, to combat deceptive greenwashing claims from publicly traded companies, the SEC is implementing more rigorous ESG reporting standards, meaning companies will now need to track and share their scope 3 (supply chain) emissions.

In the face of these new responsibilities for organizations, energy engineers are critical handlers in how companies move toward green operations and accurate reporting. Engineers will need to collect more data than ever before, help their peers understand current progress, and become an integral part of how their organization moves forward in their sustainability commitments.

In this presentation, Chelsea Davis and Adam Handler will discuss how energy engineers can be the leaders of their organization’s sustainability journey by tracking and acting on emissions data. He will outline upcoming ESG changes that engineers need to know about and how intelligent data collection will help them and their teams move the needle at the speed needed to meet demand, improve operations and reduce environmental impact.
