Connecting with Cortex
Portfolio Manager for GHG Baseline

 

Establishing a Foundation for Sustainability Tracking

Partnership with Portfolio Manager enables Cortex and its developers to establish a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions baseline, crucial for tracking and reducing our environmental impact. The Utility Account Release Form facilitates this process, allowing for comprehensive benchmarking and performance monitoring.

Utility Account Release Form: A vital tool for benchmarking, this form authorizes the release of utility data, enabling accurate sustainability assessments and progress tracking.
