Assigning emissions ownership across campuses while maintaining central visibility

Decentralized Operations

Thornton & Vale Consulting needed to assign emissions ownership across campuses while keeping central visibility into reporting. With offices in four regions, each campus had its own facilities team, its own vendor relationships, and its own habits for tracking utility data.

Balancing Autonomy and Control

Ordinant Carbon Solutions let Thornton & Vale give regional offices direct submission access without sacrificing central oversight:

• Each campus owns its data entry and initial evidence upload
• Regional sustainability leads review before corporate approval
• Central staff retain final sign-off authority on all disclosures

“Regional offices needed autonomy. Corporate needed control. Ordinant gave us both.” — Adaeze Nnamdi

Results

1. Campus teams submit utility and travel data on a shared schedule
2. Automated reminders reduce late submissions before quarter close
3. Leadership reviews consolidated figures from a single approval queue

Regional offices can now submit data directly while central sustainability staff maintain full visibility and approval control across every campus.
