About
The name Ecompter is based on the French word ’compter’, to count. It summarises our business idea – to provide concrete figures and facts for environmental communication and management. Our core focus is hotel, meeting and hospitality business.
Environmental Communication
Most hotels and meeting venues already do a lot of environmental work. Many of them, however, do not communicate their contribution to the world. On the other hand, some companies may be focused more on telling stories than taking actual actions, a phenomenon often referred to as 'green-washing'.
The below diagram describes how companies can be positioned in four categories when it comes to the level of and balance between environmental work and environmental communication.
Environmental communication is essential if you want to get the full advantage out of your environmental work. Environmental communication must however be based on facts and it must be constant. Ecompter ONLINE fulfills both of these requirements and it takes you to the next level in environmental communication and generates business advantage to your company by enabling you to communicate your environmental contribution in entertaining yet creditable and fact-based manner. No matter what your position is at the moment, Ecompter ONLINE helps you develop towards a true benefitter position.
Carbon Footprint
Climate change is the most serious one of the environmental problems and green house gas emissions in turn are the significant environmental impact of the hotel and meeting industries. Carbon Footprint tells in one figure the true impact of a product or service to the climate change. CO2 report takes into account all relevant sources of emission, not only energy.
Furthermore, besides the actual environmental work aiming at reducing the emissions and environmental impacts, producing and sharing environmental information (carbon footprint) is a key part of the environmental responsibility of the companies. A company willing to operate truly responsibility must produce this information to its various reference groups and share it openly.
