IBM Envizi ESG Suite

Simplify the capture, consolidation, management,
analysis and reporting of your environmental,
social and governance (ESG) data

Remove the barriers to accelerating
sustainability performance

Today’s leaders are excited and energized by the chance to reimagine business and commerce with a sustainability-first mindset. IBM Envizi ESG Suite removes the challenges and complexity of ESG data collection, analysis and reporting so you can harness the power of data
to fast-track your success.

Envizi’s suite of cloud-based, ESG software products work together in three ways:
 
  1. Build a data foundation: A single system of record that delivers auditable, robust ESG
    data and GHG calculations.
  2. Streamline reporting and disclosure: Flexible reporting tools to meet internal and
    external requirements for comprehensive ESG reporting and disclosure.
  3. Accelerate decarbonization: Analytical tools to identify opportunities to reach low
    carbon goals and track performance against sustainability commitments.

Key business challanges

  • ESG Disclosures: This is one of the core challenges for businesses because investors are increasingly demanding that organizations publicly disclose their Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) credentials to external ESG agencies and frameworks, and in accordance with an increasing number of ESG reporting standards. However not all organizations have the tools or analytics to do this in an accurate and efficient manner.

 

  • GHG reporting: One of the most difficult parts of ESG disclosures is GHG reporting. GHG reporting covers not only an organization’s operations, but also the upstream supply chain and downstream distribution and products sold. For example, when a consumer purchases a bicycle from Costco, emissions are generated from creating the bicycle itself (upstream), as well as, the emissions generated from gas and shipping of the product to Costco warehouses worldwide (downstream). For large organizations, it typically involves bringing together thousands or tens of thousands of individual data streams on an ongoing basis from dozens or hundreds of different data sources. Moreover, metrics like carbon dioxide (CO2) footprint calculations are externally benchmarked, need to be of financial grade, and need to be fully auditable. And once again, many organizations today lack the tools needed to achieve this.

 

  • Achieving decarbonization targets: Companies want to reduce their carbon emission, but many currently lack a roadmap to achieve this target. The purpose around sustainable businesses is to not just set a goal but to successfully attain it. Organizations feel all of the pressures previously mentioned; however without a roadmap in place, they will forever struggle to achieve their decarbonization goals.

 

  • Driving engagement and action: In response to investor and market pressure, companies are making GHG net zero commitments in record numbers. For example, the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit and Oxford Net Zero reported “1 in 5 of the world’s 2,000 largest publicly listed companies have committed to net zero.” But again, it’s one thing to make a net zero commitment for a future date, and another to mobilize a large organization to make steady progress towards those commitments. IBM has even committed to net zero GHG emissions by 2030 and continually takes steps towards achieving this.
