Energizer Holdings, Inc. Selects Hara Software as its System of Record to Track, Verify, and Manage its Global Energy and Sustainability Activities

SAN MATEO, Calif., June 20, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Hara™, a leader in enterprise energy management and sustainability software, today announced that Energizer Holdings, Inc. has chosen Hara's system of record solution to track, verify and manage Energizer's global energy activities and correlating emissions.

Energizer, a member of Newsweek's 2011 Green Rankings, a list of the "greenest companies" based on a survey of the 500 biggest companies in America, approaches sustainability management as an integral part of its business strategy. That includes programs and systems that address resource efficiency in three major areas— environmental, social, and economic. The company recognized that it could no longer effectively manage its energy and emissions data through spreadsheets alone.  The company chose to work with Hara based on their market leadership, innovative solution, and alignment with Energizer's short and longer-term needs.  

By providing Energizer with visibility into its management of distributed energy and resource activities through one centralized system of record, Hara helps Energizer in its efforts to improve energy savings and reduce environmental impact, particularly around its manufacturing operations. The partnership also seeks to align all Energizer stakeholder groups (including energy, sustainability, manufacturing, engineering, IT and others) in pursuing shared sustainability, reporting and corporate social responsibility programs.

Michael C. Wilt, Ph.D., Energizer Holdings General Manager for Global Engineering and Sustainability said that "The choice of Hara as a key partner will aid Energizer in more accurately and efficiently measuring, recording and tracking results against our targets. This system will provide a robust solution to assist us on our sustainability journey and in achieving our corporate sustainability goals."

According to Dan Leff, Hara's Chief Executive Officer, "Working with Energizer provides a great opportunity for Hara to add value to their corporate energy and sustainability initiatives, including tracking and accurately reporting on usage, setting goals for future reductions and driving best in class business processes."
