Report: The tools helping enterprises GET green

When it comes to issues of sustainability there’s a clear disconnect between intention and action. A recent survey by our sister company iResearch, revealed that most C-suite executives working in tech (over 500 were quizzed) thought that sustainability was important. Yet only 65% of these same leaders said they were satisfied with the level of sustainability achieved at their own companies. But whether you’re a tech company, an industrial machinery manufacturer or a well-known FMCG brand, the challenge remains the same: one of the biggest hurdles with ESG policy is implementation and knowing where to start.

While there’s no direct link between technology and sustainability, it’s clear that digital tools that gather data, enhance supply chain visibility and optimise processes have obvious use cases in helping firms on their way towards net zero.

We hope that this Green Enterprise Technology report will support you in that journey. The first section offers an overview of the current state of climate tech and the carbon offsetting economy. The second part takes a deeper dive into some transformational technologies – many of which your IT department will already be familiar with.

Except we look at how APIs, low code/ no code platforms, AI and ML, digital twins, sensors and blockchain may be used as tools help measure, monitor and reduce your firm’s carbon emissions all the way through the supply chain.

We also look at what’s being done to ‘green’ the data centres that power these technologies as well as examining what good circular technology lifecycle management looks like – from smart procurement to best practice for information technology asset disposal (ITAD). It’s not an exhaustive report by any means, but by interspersing this with actual use cases we aim to give you some ideas of how to turn ESG policy from an PDF document on a website into an actionable platform that can help your firm reduce its carbon footprint.
