Deloitte, IBM Launch Sustainability Solutions Collaboration
Global professional services firm Deloitte and tech giant IBM announced today a new global collaboration, leveraging each companies’ sustainability solutions to help organizations accelerate emissions reduction strategies, deliver improved sustainability outcomes and streamline sustainable transformation.
Christina Shim, Global Head of Product Management/Strategy, Sustainability Software at IBM, said:
“This expanded collaboration with Deloitte builds on our ongoing relationship, making it easier for our mutual clients to apply a strategic lens to their sustainability efforts, enabled by Deloitte’s deep experience and capabilities in sustainable business transformation.”
According to Deloitte, the new collaboration will enable its clients to leverage multiple IBM solutions, and integrate data from the IBM Envizi ESG Suite with Deloitte’s GreenLight Solution.
IBM acquired environmental performance data and analytics software provider Envizi in 2022, as part of its efforts to enhance its AI-powered ESG solutions capabilities. The platform helps companies capture and consolidate ESG data into a single system of record, conduct greenhouse gas emissions calculations, support ESG reporting, and provide data-driven insights to aid decarbonization projects.
Deloitte launched GreenLight Solution earlier this year, providing an AI-based decarbonization software tool aimed at helping organizations build emissions reduction strategies, with features including analysis on global credits, incentives and prioritized abatement strategies, as well as tools for strategically planning, managing and optimizing the economics of net-zero goals and roadmaps.
Solutions offered to GreenLight Solution clients under the new collaboration include ESG data collection and reporting through integration with IBM Envizi; green facilities and operations, including asset monitoring, management, predictive maintenance and reliability planning through integration with IBM Maximo Application Suite, and facilities and workplace management with IBM TRIRIGA Application Suite; green IT and cloud migrations through integration with IBM Turbonomic, and; sustainability optimization with the IBM Planning Analytics solution.
Marcus Goetz, Partner and Global Sustainability and Climate Technology Marketplace Leader at Deloitte, said:
“The climate crisis requires urgent action, yet organizations are struggling to get data-driven insights that would enable them to think more strategically and make the right decisions. Through integration of IBM’s Envizi with Deloitte’s GreenLight Solution, organizations can leverage their existing investments in IBM solutions to rapidly access the data needed, enhance insights and better understand their options for accelerated action toward their climate and sustainability goals.”
