Source 44 and Palmetto Climate Partnership Brings End-to-End Sustainability Solution

PRLog (Press Release) - Feb. 1, 2012 - SOLANA BEACH, CA and SAN FRANCISCO, CA (February 1, 2012) – Source 44, a leading provider of sustainability data services and solutions, and Palmetto Climate, a global provider of end-to-end carbon neutrality and energy efficiency products and services, today announced that they have formed a partnership to offer a comprehensive solution that will enable retail and manufacturing companies to assess and improve their sustainability practices both at the corporate level and throughout their respective supply chains.  

Through this strategic partnership, the two companies will offer an efficient and transparent approach for companies seeking to maximize returns on their sustainability investments.

“Combining our complementary capabilities enables us to provide an innovative end-to-end solution for improving supply chain sustainability,” said Matt Thorn, Source 44 Chief Operating Officer. “This integrated approach brings value to our clients by eliminating the hassle of utilizing piecemeal services in order to meet sustainability targets.”

Through this partnership, Source 44 will first assess the impacts and sustainability of a client’s operations, facilities, products and suppliers, all of which are analyzed by Source 44’s hosted online subscription service, Source Intelligence™.  A dynamic platform, Source Intelligence™ is able to highlight opportunities for reduction or improvement across a company’s operations and supply chain.  

Palmetto Climate, a company specializing in financing sustainable projects and carbon offset management, can then use this data to assist the client in reducing its monthly energy-spend through energy savings projects, while at the same time implementing cost-effective solutions that will improve the client’s sustainability.  

“Source 44 assists us in better understanding our client’s critical operations and supply chains,” said Chris Kemper, Palmetto Climate Chief Executive Officer. “This in turn helps us provide the optimal cost-effective energy efficiency and carbon neutrality solutions.”

“Ultimately, this presents a more efficient way to reduce transaction costs, which is a savings that will be passed on directly to our clients,” Kemper said.
