The Company is focused on operating efficient buildings, reducing carbon emissions, and managing climate risks.  Through the software, the Company will track its efforts to optimize and reduce resource consumption (electricity, gas and water) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through capital upgrades and operational strategies and will continuously identify opportunities for financial and environmental performance improvements.

“With a portfolio of over 110 million rentable square feet, STAG recognizes our responsibility and opportunity as an industrial market leader in sustainability,” said Brian LaMont, Senior Vice President of ESG at the Company. “The software platform will provide support for enhancing utility data capture, coverage, completeness, and accuracy, as well as providing more useful data and automating reporting for asset managers, engineers and executives.”
