WEST CHESTER, Pa., April 12, 2011 — FirstCarbon Solutions, a pioneer and industry leader in environmental business intelligence, announced today that it will provide its ghgTrack™ software to manage and report greenhouse gas emissions for First American Title Insurance Company’s Santa Ana, Calif., corporate headquarters.
First American will use ghgTrack software to collect data on direct and indirect sources of greenhouse gas emissions and calculate carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) values. The data will be used to provide stakeholders with auditable greenhouse gas reports and establish baseline measurements as a first step in the company’s program to reduce emissions. First American chose FirstCarbon Solutions based on its ability to connect greenhouse gas reporting with long-term business goals and its expertise in federal and state emissions regulations.
“First American is committed to reducing our environmental impact; however, we realize that we can’t reduce what we can’t measure,” said Dennis Gilmore, chief executive officer of First American Financial Corporation, the parent company for First American Title Insurance Company. “With ghgTrack software, we will be able to measure our greenhouse gas emissions and connect sustainability programs to our bottom line.”
“Organizations that fall outside of the compliance-driven, smokestack industry require a customized solution in order to efficiently track and report greenhouse gas emissions,” said Jim Donovan, chief executive officer of FirstCarbon Solutions. “ghgTrack software is a flexible, easy-to-use tool for helping clean industries manage environmental programs. FirstCarbon Solutions is one of a few vendors that can accurately measure the return on investment of sustainability programs.”
