Promote Iceland uses BravoEarth
Petur Petursson
A great tool for Environmental issues
Promote Iceland started the BravoEarth system in November 2020. They are now completing Step 2 in Green Steps. The future is to set a formal environmental and climate policy and we at BravoEarth will follow them in that project under the guidance of Dr. Snjólaugar Ólafsdóttir at EY. All goals and tasks will be entered into the BravoEarth system.
"The BravoEarth web system is an excellent tool when it comes to defining, managing and following the environmental work. We use the environmental management system to keep track of all the steps in the Green Steps, actions in each step, the status and progress of actions. This gives us a good overview of the project and keeps us well on topic.
The system is simple to use and the interface is very convenient. Numerous features are built into the system, including observation grids, checklists and reports, all of which have enabled us to implement the first steps of Green Steps almost seamlessly and make it so much more fun. "
Birta Kristín Helgadóttir, project manager at Promote Iceland.
