First country-focused see-it™ site to track Japan’s sustainability indicators
VANCOUVER, CANADA, November 28, 2007 — Visible Strategies Software Inc., a leading provider of strategy mapping and performance management software that helps organizations communicate their vision for a sustainable future, is pleased to announce the launch of its first country-focused see-it™ site for Japan. The site was developed in conjunction with Visible Strategies’ new partner EcoNetworks, Japan’s leading sustainability consulting firm. EcoNetworks helps companies and organizations to develop, track and report on their sustainability plans and has built a prestigious customer list that includes Panasonic, Asahi Beer, Sompo Japan, Nissan, and Seiyu.
Visible Strategies worked closely with Eco Networks’ sister organization, Japan for Sustainability, to create a see-it™ site for the entire country of Japan. The see-it™ site will track 20 headline indicators for sustainability based on an analysis of over 200 data sets in several sustainability-related categories. This country focused see-it™ site is the first of its kind and will serve as a model and template for every country in the world to track its own sustainability.
