Bluehorse launches seamlessly integrated Carbonostics carbon accounting and product lifecycle assessment platform for the food and drink industry

The new Carbonostics responds to the growing needs of food and drink companies for reliable and affordable sustainability metrics to measure and report environmental impacts.

Neuilly-sur-Seine, France (MMD Newswire) May 16, 2012 — Bluehorse Associates announces today the launch of a new Carbonostics suite of carbon and energy accounting and product lifecycle assessment (pLCA) applications designed specifically for the food and drink industry. The enhanced Carbonostics delivers multi-criteria environmental impact analyses that guide companies as they develop their sustainability strategy.

The Carbonostics tool is used by large and small food and drink manufacturers, retailers, foodservice suppliers and consultants to reach sustainability goals, such as:

- identify areas to reduce carbon, cost, waste and water consumption;

- measure and report impacts in alignment with global standards [with templates for the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), and GHG Protocol Scopes];

- create Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) reports;

- identify supply chain efficiencies;

- improve supplier and stakeholder relationships;

- create product portfolio analyses; and,

- guide new product design, innovation and RD.

“Due to an expected jump in commodity prices over the next decade, food businesses of all sizes will need to fully understand where carbon is embedded within their businesses and products to remain both environmentally and economically sustainable,” food sustainability expert Tom Beeston from Eat England says. “With the Carbonostics tool and expert technical support, food industry professionals can achieve their own robust product and businesses footprint analyses in days and at a fraction of the costs of traditional approaches.”

Since the original version of the tool launched over three years ago, Carbonostics has democratized the field of sustainability metrics with its unique tools and comprehensive database, which now includes over 3000 emission factors specific to food. The original Carbonostics (cost+carbon+nutrition) was the first product-level LCA tool on the market providing food companies with user-friendly, online and usable LCA. During this time, the needs of the food and drink industry evolved; and, the enhanced Carbonostics platform was built to deliver solutions to companies that are taking the first steps in sustainability as well as others who are further along the sustainability maturity scale.

“The evolution of Carbonostics over the past three years mirrors the evolution in the field of sustainability metrics and the adoption of LCA. Today we deliver a suite of stepping-stone metric tools that provide value at each stage of our clients’ sustainability needs,”Bluehorse Associates President Sara Pax explains.

DALLAS, TX (MMD Newswire) May 15, 2012 — The Aidmatrix Foundation today announced that it received a $350,000 grant from The UPS Foundation, the charitable arm of UPS (NYSE:UPS). The grant will be used to expand the International Transportation Program, which UPS helped found, as well as for the continuation and expansion of the SCM4Good™ technology platform.

The International Transportation Program addresses the rising costs of transportation for humanitarian relief organizations. It enables relief organizations, also known as non-governmental organizations or NGOs, to access free and discounted transportation services. It works two ways. First, transportation providers post their excess capacity on the system so NGOs can take advantage of it. Second, NGOs post their transportation needs and a number of transportation providers provide discounted bids for the work. All of the NGOs and providers are vetted prior to joining the program. Support from The UPS Foundation in 2012 will expand the program dramatically by increasing the number of nonprofit organizations participating in the program as well as increasing the number of countries served. In addition to the 350K cash grant, UPS is also providing up to 100K of in-kind shipping services for humanitarian agencies that use this International Transportation Program portal.

The SCM4Good platform is an integrated supply chain management and logistics software solution for NGOs. These platforms accelerate the procurement, management and delivery of humanitarian relief and provide global transparency and collaboration within an organization and with its donors. Support from The UPS Foundation in 2012 will help build enhancements common to multiple international NGOs, including offline sharing and mobile device capabilities.

“The rising cost of transportation has put a strain on NGOs around the world. This grant from The UPS Foundation will help us expand our International Transportation Program to help alleviate some of those costs so those same nonprofits can complete their missions more effectively and efficiently,” stated Michael Ross, Vice President of Aidmatrix.

“The UPS Foundation is proud to support Aidmatrix Network as this nonprofit organization provides technology solutions that connect donors to the specific needs of relief agencies responding to disasters,” said Eduardo Martinez, president of The UPS Foundation. “Beyond funding, UPS is also committed to contributing its experience, expertise and resources to civil society, public and private organizations which are engaged in promoting the efficiency and effectiveness of the humanitarian relief sector worldwide.”

Established in 1951 and based in Atlanta, Ga., The UPS Foundation identifies specific areas where its backing clearly impacts social issues. In support of this strategic approach, The UPS Foundation has identified the following focus areas for
