Corporate Benchmarking Report (CBR)

The Municipality of Thames Centre’s corporate benchmarking initiative, in partnership with eMission Software Inc., is dedicated to implementing sustainable energy practices and reducing carbon emissions in this vibrant community in Ontario, Canada. This project aims to utilize innovative technologies and methodologies to create a corporate inventory and assess energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, starting Thames Centre on the Partners for Climate Protection (PCP) program’s five-step Milestone Framework to take action on climate change.

Through comprehensive data analysis and tailored recommendations, the project seeks to empower the community to adopt energy-efficient practices across its corporate operations. By establishing benchmarks for energy consumption and emissions, the initiative will identify areas for improvement and develop customized solutions to achieve measurable results.
