Publisher's description
To comply with international standards for carbon footprinting (PAS 2050, ISO 14040, and the upcoming ISO 14067), a product carbon footprint has to account for emissions from cradle to grave - that is, from initial resource extraction to final disposal, including manufacturing, use-related impacts, and transportation or shipping. PE International deployed high-quality process-based datasets which accurately represent typical electronic components. PE International, creators of the GaBi 4 Life Cycle Inventory databases, provides market-leading environmental impact databases for creating product carbon footprints, including an electronics-specific emissions database.

In the rush to meet regulatory or customer mandates, organizations have spent millions of dollars in implementing security and compliance measures on an issue-by-issue or regulation-by-regulation basis. These approaches to compliance and information security governance are filled with unnecessary risks and costs. This is demonstrated by the fact that over 90 million customer data records have been compromised in the last 18 months by public companies, universities, and government agencies due to breaches in security. Clearly, the standards of Information Security Governance must be raised. What is needed is an approach that is effective, efficient, and sustainable.
