Technology leaders are building and leveraging a digital enterprise capability for carbon emission reduction.

Great to see technology at Bupa in this article from MIT CISR (MIT Center for Information Systems Research) – showcasing our work to reduce carbon emissions. Technology is a key enabler of sustainability, supporting Bupa’s mission to build a healthier future for people and planet and to become a Net Zero business by 2040.  Scope 3 emissions, generated by our suppliers, partners and customers, is both the largest and most complex category of emissions to influence.  We are prioritising Technology suppliers that share our Net Zero vision. By the end of 2023, 66 percent of IT spend went to partners aligned with Bupa’s Net Zero goal, enabling us to raise our target to 75 percent to be met by the end of 2024. Thanks to our Bupa team (special mention to Stephanie Wand) and our partners focussed on building a healthier future for people and planet. There is much more to be done, but we are moving towards sustainable healthcare together.   #sustainability #digitalsustainability #technologyemissions   https://lnkd.in/evES7jUy

🌱💻 Sustainability meets IT –Understanding the value of data. 🌍 Since the invention of the wheel, successful technology has not only been about efficiency; it has always been about impact. Successful technology goes beyond technical ingenuity and has a measurable impact on society. In today’s world, as we face unprecedented challenges, more than ever, it's not just about improving efficiency, it's about improving people's lives and promoting sustainable development. Technology is one of the most powerful tools for transforming markets and industries and promoting sustainable development. Green tech—the synergy between technology and sustainability—can drive meaningful impact by: 💻   Designing integrated solutions to promote data-driven decisions. 📈   Fostering a data-centric culture that enhances process understanding across the supply chain and inspires sustainable innovation. 🔍   Enabling transparency and accountability through ESG reporting and optimising resource usage. From smart grids and microgrids to eco-friendly supply chains and sustainable design, the intersection of digital technology and sustainability opens up countless opportunities. We’re excited to help organisations harness this power to create meaningful change for a resilient future. #SustainableDevelopment #GreenTech #ITForGood #SustainableBusiness #ConsultingForChange #GreenFuture

We are excited to witness the overall growing momentum of decarbonization and carbmee is proudly working towards decarbonizing industrial supply chains with its holistic carbon management software. Like Koray Köse rightly explains here, the emissions measurement and reporting go beyond compliance; they are essential steps in the decarbonization journey, offering strategic advantages.  The Environmental Intelligence System carbmee EIS™ helps industrial manufacturing companies with automated PCF calculation, Scope 3 emission calculation identifying emissions hotspots and uncovering reduction potential, supplier engagement, and CBAM reporting. https://lnkd.in/emUKaec6

Only 24% of companies feel ready for the upcoming sustainability reporting requirements. The clock is ticking, and critical deadlines are approaching—like the European Union's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive by 2025 and California's staggered emissions reporting starting in 2026. What can help bridge this readiness gap? Technology, of course. Bain & Company's latest research reveals that nearly 90% of executives agree that digital technology is crucial for advancing sustainability goals. However, a startling discrepancy exists, as most need to take the necessary actions to enhance their tech capabilities. Additionally, enterprise technology accounts for about 25% of the company’s Scope 1 and 2 emissions, and large data centres alone can consume up to 5 million gallons of water daily. Are you part of the prepared 24%, or must you accelerate your tech adoption to meet and surpass these rigorous standards in time to leverage technology for compliance and as a cornerstone for sustainable operations that manage carbon emissions, water use, waste, and more?

The Illusion of Green: Are Tech Giants Truly Committed to Sustainability? In recent years, large enterprise technology players have increasingly vocalized their commitment to sustainability, crafting extensive press releases and touting high ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) scores. Yet, despite their fervent declarations, a critical examination often reveals a stark contrast between their stated intentions and actions. This discrepancy raises important questions about whether these companies are genuinely dedicated to sustainable practices or merely engaging in greenwashing to enhance their public image. One core example of this disconnect is seen in some corporations' energy usage. While they may proudly announce investments in renewable energy projects, the overall carbon footprint often paints a different picture. Reports have highlighted instances where tech giants still rely heavily on non-renewable energy to power data centers, which are among the largest consumers of electricity globally. These data centers significantly contribute to emissions, undermining any lip service paid to sustainability. Moreover, the lifecycle management of electronic devices is another area where rhetoric falls short of reality. Promises to promote a circular economy through recycling and sustainable manufacturing processes often lack tangible results. The rapid turnover of electronic goods continues, spurred by the pursuit of profit and planned obsolescence, which leads to increased e-waste and resource depletion. The public statements made by these enterprises frequently emphasize transparent supply chains, yet numerous audits and investigations reveal persistent environmental and human rights abuses in their supply networks. These findings suggest a gap between corporate pledges and the actual oversight and enforcement of sustainability standards. To be fair, some companies are making genuine strides towards sustainability, albeit incrementally. However, the broader trend of proclaiming commitment without substantial action is increasingly evident. For the industry to achieve true sustainability, it requires more than just high ESG scores—it demands a fundamental shift in operational practices and corporate culture. As enterprises navigate this complex terrain, stakeholders, investors, and consumers must scrutinize actions over words. Only through consistent accountability and transparency can we discern authentic dedication from strategic posturing in the realm of sustainability. What are your thoughts on this? Am I being too hard on them? #Sustainability #FakeSustainability #EnterpriseIT
