Technology and Sustainability

Integrating technology to meet sustainability ambitions

Today’s technology offers unprecedented opportunities to track, store, model and analyse data. Technology provides a solid, fact-based foundation for business decisions, operations, continuous improvement and ongoing monitoring, measurement and reporting. It is applicable for all sustainability-related activities, across the entire value chain, such as:

  • operations: procurement, climate risks, carbon footprint and decarbonisation, emissions, energy and water use, and waste management

  • workforce: diversity and inclusion, human rights, demographics, talent and performance, risk and safety, emissions (e.g. commuting), code of conduct compliance and data privacy

  • authorities: monitoring, compliance and reporting

  • customers, end users and stakeholders: life cycle impacts.

Leverage data and technology to embed sustainability within your organisation

Data and technology play an essential role in embedding sustainability within the day-to-day operations of your organisation and addressing sustainability challenges, from understanding the impact of operations on the environment to ensuring compliance with regulations and business transformation planning and implementation. In practice, this translates to:

  • capturing the business needs and translating them to technology solutions and collaboration,
  • gathering, storing and sharing sustainability-related data efficiently,

  • providing usable interfaces and reporting tools to facilitate information sharing, data analysis and business insights,

  • taking action: using technology and digital innovation to improve on sustainability dimensions and operationalising sustainability initiatives and data requirements to create value.
