Harnessing the power of data and AI to operationalize sustainability - IBM Business Operations Blog

Companies are under mounting pressure from regulators, investors, and consumers to progress toward more sustainable and socially responsible business operations -- and to demonstrate these measures in a robust and verifiable way. In fact, corporate responsibility and environmental sustainability risks tied as the third highest concerns for organizations, as ranked by large corporations in a 2021 Forrester report. However, the various types of data that companies need to understand and report on sustainability initiatives remains highly fragmented and difficult for all relevant parties to access. To help organizations respond to these challenges, IBM has acquired Envizi, a leading data and analytics software provider for environmental performance management. Envizi complements IBM's growing portfolio of AI-powered software -- including IBM Maximo asset management solutions, IBM Sterling supply chain solutions and IBM Environmental Intelligence Suite -- to help companies assess the impacts of the environment on business and of business on the environment.
