Last year, California established itself as a climate leader by passing two bills that require public and private companies operating in the state to disclose their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the climate-related financial risks they face. The Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act, or SB 253, applies to companies that have annual revenue of at least $1 billion, and companies must disclose their Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions under this regulation. As noted in this The Wall Street Journal article, California’s SB 253 is slated to roll out as originally planned despite a call to slow the timeline due to concerns over the potential costs to businesses. Is your company required to report under California’s SB 253? Read this blog to learn more about the scope and requirements: https://bit.ly/4eLs1oU #Sustainability #SustainabilityReporting #Scope3

Manufacturing and production companies leverage the plant maintenance life cycle, which is a framework to ensure that maintenance activities are data-driven, timely and seamlessly integrated into daily operations. It facilitates clear communication between maintenance and operations teams to maximize plant efficiency and increase operational uptime. All companies that produce physical products leverage the plant maintenance life cycle through their preferred ERP system or through enterprise asset management systems. Sometimes referred to as “closed-loop maintenance,” “preventative maintenance life cycle” or “work-order life cycle,” this multi-phase process provides the foundation for efficient maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) activities. Read this blog to learn about how Control of Work and Master Data Management (MDM) enhance the plant maintenance life cycle: https://bit.ly/3BcMWTe #DataManagement #MRO #Safety
