For Immediate Release
ATLANTA – April 22, 2024 – In celebration of Earth Day, Atrius, part of Acuity Brands, Inc. (NYSE: AYI), today announced it has won two awards from leading sustainability media companies Environment + Energy (E+E) Leader and ESG Investing for the second consecutive year. Its carbon accounting and ESG reporting software, Atrius Sustainability, was recognized by both programs as one of the best solutions available today thanks to the brand’s commitment to ongoing innovation and market responsiveness. Demonstrations of this include the release of its free, entry-level version of the platform, Atrius Sustainability Starter; its ability to provide third-party assurance of carbon emissions data to both Starter and Enterprise customers; and its data-agnostic architecture which allows users to precisely tailor the application to suit their individual needs.
E+E Leader included Atrius Sustainability as one of its Top Products of 2024 in the Software and Cloud category. Judges commended the platform for its ease of use in tracking and reporting scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions data across organizations’ building portfolios. E+E Leader also hailed Atrius Sustainability Starter as a market leader and praised it for being the first product of its kind to provide fully assured carbon accounting capabilities to small and medium businesses (SMBs) at no cost. ESG Investing additionally named Atrius Sustainability as this year’s runner-up and finalist in the Best Specialist ESG Data Provider and Best ESG & Climate Reporting Platform categories, respectively.
“Receiving both of these awards for the second year in a row validates our relentless pursuit to help customers make the most of their sustainability insights,” said Lauren Scott, Vice President, Marketing and Sustainability, Acuity Brands. “We all have a part to play in reducing carbon emissions, and we’re proud that both of these prestigious programs have once again recognized Atrius’ outstanding track record in keeping organizations up-to-date with evolving ESG reporting needs and tracking their progress on sustainability goals.”
Sustainability software has traditionally only been accessible to the largest enterprises, but Atrius’ standout products can assist organizations of all sizes, at any point on their path to net-zero carbon emissions. To share insights on getting started, Atrius will be hosting a webinar with E+E Leader on Wednesday, May 1 at 1 p.m. ET, discussing how businesses can take the first step of their sustainability journey with energy management and entry-level tools like Atrius Sustainability Starter.
