With the increased demand for building decarbonization due to ESG goals, public policy, and investments in green banks, GBCI's #InvestorConfidenceProject, ICP, is excited to share a new process for accurately converting energy savings into GHG impacts and goals. This new approach marks a significant shift at ICP, expanding the focus from energy efficiency to GHG optimization, a growing priority for organizations seeking to meet aggressive carbon reduction targets. The European Union’s commitment to deforestation-free commodities by the end of 2024 is just one example of the regulatory pressures pushing investors and corporations to accelerate their sustainability efforts. ICP’s GHG conversion factor aligns with this momentum, offering the tools to meet emerging global standards while advancing meaningful climate action. Learn more about how this tool can assist your GHG reduction goals. https://bit.ly/3YYUjHj
