Green Reporting: Sustainability & Business Intelligence
The Challenge
Currently, sustainability is on the strategic agenda of many companies worldwide. Due to public opinion and government regulation, organizations need to be armed with data to show they are not polluting, are using scarce resources efficiently and are helping protect the environment. Organizations that want to qualify themselves as ‘green’ must analyze their emissions, waste, safety, resource use and other aspects that are related to sustainability. In order to comply with regulations, standards and certifications, specific sustainability reporting is necessary. An example are the yearly Sustainability Reports already being published by several organizations as part of the reporting to their stakeholders.
Reporting on this subject to many different internal and external auditors poses a problem: how can we gather the right data in the right way, not spending too much time? And how can we make sure that within my organization, but also between the many different standards and regulations that I have to comply to, we keep speaking the same language?
The Solution
Business intelligence (BI) and data warehousing provide companies with meaningful and accurate data that can be analyzed to support the sustainability strategy. For example, reports on the size of the CO2 footprint of your operational processes can appear on your screen with a mouse-click. Companies can use such data to predict the effectiveness of their sustainability initiatives and establish long-term programs for expanding this strategy.
