General Description

CSRware (www.csrware.com) was incorporated in 2006 as one of the only woman-owned and run Energy & Sustainability Management software-as-a-service company.  After working with several key customers, CSRware developed its Sustainability Resource Management (SRM) platform to expand its modular offering dynamic products to quickly evolve with the industry.  The CSRware solution lets mid-large market businesses better track, measure and predict energy and environmental costs across the value chain. CSRware delivers cutting edge technology to promote environmental sustainability and energy efficient solutions to ensure customers and their supply chain conduct business in way that preserves resources and long-term profitability.  CSRware powers the Bloomberg ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) platform, certified by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and is partnered with the Edison Awards. 

We enable our customer to focus on what is critical to their business.  Your company is only as sustainable as the parts from which it is built. In the pursuit of competitive, lean operations, more and more of those parts are being outsourced. While this leads to greater profit, it also leads to decreased control over how your business actually does its business: Your suppliers are you – CSRware helps take a snapshot of your internal and external operations. 

For example, is your supply chain helping you meet your sustainability goals? Are you optimizing energy usage at each facility?  Are you using the appropriate transportation methods?  How much do you spend on lighting infrastructure?  How do you benchmark performance?

Understanding and influencing energy and sustainability impact is a continuous process. CSRware helps you to understand and report on how this process is unfolding.
