The CIMS™ Difference

The CIMS™ System is uniquely differentiated from other solutions.  CIMS™ offers three distinct advantages over more traditional green house gas assessment methodologies.

  1. A comprehensive approach to carbon management: The first output of CIMS™ hybrid approach is a comprehensive view of an organizations carbon footprint. CIMS™ immediately reveals the carbon intensive operations and products and thus provides a valuable quantitative perspective on how and where to invest dollars for the highest mitigation impact.  Traditional process life cycle analysis is a costly bottoms up point solution with limited scope. 
     
  2. Cost Effective:   Climate Earth CIMS™ is based on hybrid life cycle analysis and is therefore more cost effective, comprehensive, and extensible than traditional solutions based on process life Cycle analysis. Process LCA relies on labor intensive collection of physical data, while the CIMS™ hybrid methodology captures detail financial data to quantify the enterprise wide carbon footprint.
     
  3. Easily repeatable and updated: CIMS™ integrates with the existing ERP, accounting or supply chain management system to generate footprint reports. Since the green house gas assessment is derived directly from your financial data, when the financial data changes CIMS™ easily updates your carbon footprint. CIMS™ reports are consistent through time, easily track improvements and changes, and are verifiable 
     

CIMS™ delivers a more comprehensive footprint than traditional methods.
The CIMS™ hybrid approach to footprint assessment is a comprehensive, cradle to gate approach that is easily updated, and delivered at a moderate cost relative to the traditional process LCA approach.
