The partner companies will work with IBM to integrate their products and services with IBM's Green Sigma offering, which applies Lean Six Sigma principles and practices to energy, water, waste and greenhouse gas emissions in all operational areas, including transportation, IT systems, manufacturing and distribution, offices, and retail spaces, IBM officials explained. "As we all work toward creating a greener, smarter planet, it is plain that none of us can get there alone," said Rich Lechner, IBM vice president for energy and environment. "Through public and private partnerships, and with leaders across a range of industries and technologies combining and sharing our expertise and talent, we can create the solutions the world needs to conserve resources and address climate change." Observers welcomed the news. Richard Sandor, chairman and founder of the Chicago Climate Exchange, said "We are encouraged that the results of these types of collaborative efforts between public utilities and industry leaders like those promoted by IBM are providing energy and water solutions that are efficient and environmentally responsible."
