SAIC was today awarded the Excellence in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Management Goal Setting Certificate by the U.S. Environmental Protect Agency’s (EPA) Center for Corporate Climate Leadership. The firm was selected from multiple applications reviewed by the EPA,  Associate of Climate Change Officers, Center for Climate Change and Energy Solutions, and The Climate Registry.

The certificate recognizes organizations that publicly report and verify corporate GHG inventories and set aggressive GHG emissions reduction goals. SAIC plans to reduce emissions by disposing of its real estate assets that are either underperforming or underutilized and consolidating other spaces for a net reduction in square footage.

“We’re honored that our commitment to integrating sustainable principles into our corporate culture and operations has been recognized by the EPA’s Center for Corporate Climate Leadership,” said Joe Craver, president of SAIC’s Health and Engineering Sector. “We will continue to identify and implement cost-effective energy efficiency projects across the company and leverage our broad in-house energy expertise to achieve our aggressive emissions reduction goal.”

SAIC is also pursuing and will administer energy efficiency projects in its office spaces, educating employees, and raising awareness about the contributions they can make to reduce energy use. The company announced its goal, in 2011, of reducing global scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 25 percent by 2020.

Scope 1 emissions are direct GHG emissions from sources owned and controlled by SAIC, and scope 2 emissions include indirect GHG emissions resulting from off-site power generation, heating and cooling, or steam generation that SAIC doesn’t control but purchases.
