Case Study: Chevron achieves auditable greenhouse‑gas management and faster, cost‑saving reporting with Sphera

Chevron Shows Strong Leadership in Greenhouse Gas Management and Reporting for Operational Excellence

Chevron, a global energy company committed to Operational Excellence, needed a standardized, auditable system to track and report greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across 55 business units and roughly 10,000 sites. To meet this challenge Chevron implemented the Chevron Greenhouse Gas Emission Reporting System (CGERS), built on Sphera’s Environmental Performance software, to provide consistent calculation methods and transparent, verifiable data.

Using Sphera’s solution, Chevron achieved measurable results: five years on CDP’s S&P 500 Climate Disclosure Leadership Index (a 97 score in 2013), independent confirmation of GHG calculations by Ernst & Young, and substantial emissions reductions (e.g., a 75% cut in Sumatra). Sphera’s tools also sped regulatory reporting (one group’s EPA submission time fell from two weeks to one day), supported broader CO2 reductions and lower-than-target totals for 2012–2013, and are expected to deliver significant IT and process cost savings as Chevron migrates to an expanded Sphera-enabled platform.
