AEA and Hara Join Forces for New Carbon and Energy Management Offering

AEA, a leading sustainability consultancy in the UK, has announced a strategic partnership with Hara (USA), one of the fastest-growing providers to the carbon, energy and environmental management software market. The partnership will allow AEA and Hara to provide organisations with a complete service, from initial reporting stages through to implementing actual carbon and energy reductions as well as ongoing monitoring and management.

The partnership will add significant value to AEA’s existing consultancy service offering, by providing organisations with a flexible service that allows them to measure their existing energy use, their carbon footprint and to develop strategies and models that allow them to manage their organisation’s carbon usage. The service will also allow organisations to meet the challenges of increasing environmental regulatory compliance across waste and water as well as energy consumption. The state of the art software offering is supported by a team of expert sustainability consultants.

Bill Hutchison, Director of Knowledge Management at AEA said: “The delivery of future carbon reduction is all about measurement, verification and monitoring. As environmental legislation increases, all organisations need to find clear and cost-effective ways of pinpointing opportunities to save both money and carbon. We’re very excited about the many ways in which Hara sustains what we already do, and enables us to bring innovative new services to our customers.”

Nick Martin, Managing Director at Hara, said: “For over four decades AEA has been a trusted adviser to government and global businesses on climate change, energy and environment strategies, including acting as a key adviser on the UK Carbon Reduction Commitment. Hara is thrilled to be joining forces with AEA across Europe to provide market-leading solutions that will help companies of all sizes establish an auditable environmental and energy system and optimise energy and carbon efficiencies across the enterprise. This partnership reinforces Hara’s international presence and ability to service customers on a global basis.”
