What you missed: Sustaira together with Mendix and Siemens at Hannover Messe
Hannover Messe, one of the world’s largest trade fairs that is dedicated to the topic of industry development, kicked off its annual fair on May 31st. Sustaira is proud to have been a participant in this event together with Mendix and Siemens. In case you missed it, we wanted to provide an overview of what was shown during the event.
Overview.
The Siemens motto for Hannover Messe 2022 was, “Let’s combine real and digital worlds for a sustainable tomorrow” and this couldn’t be more fitting to the goal of Sustaira. Together, Mendix and Sustaira shared a handful of examples of where Mendix in partnership with Sustaira can help organizations through their Sustainability and ESG Journey.

Sustainability and ESG Challenges.
Sustainability and ESG is a journey that comes with substantial challenges. Regardless of where an organization may be, whether they are early on and setting goals or perhaps are deeper in their journey and diving into scope 3 emissions, there are core challenges most everyone is facing. Examples include but aren’t limited to:
Difficulties keeping up with changing requirements and regulatory needs
Sustainability/ESG Data is siloed and disparate inside and outside of the organization
There is on easy and efficient way to aggregate and manage the data with too many manual, error prone processes and Excel spreadsheets.
Incapable of turning insights into measurable action, as there is no real way to track progress and results based on set goals.
Unable to engage employees, students, and other stakeholders around sustainability.
Inefficient Reporting and a lack of transparency in the supply chain and product lifecycle.
The Sustaira Sustainability Circle.
With these challenges in mind, this leads to why the Mendix low-code platform is such an essential tool in solving these challenges. At Sustaira, Mendix is one of the technologies leveraged to address each and every challenge above. Sustaira has created what is called the Sustaira Sustainability Circle.
This circle is a great visual of what Sustaira is doing on top of Siemens’ low-code platform, Mendix. Sustainability and ESG is about going beyond reporting. It includes the entire sustainability journey from goal setting, to data aggregation and awareness, to taking action, to seeing results and rewards of those actions, to the ever important digital reporting piece. It even goes beyond the “E” of ESG and includes social and governance applications as well.
Within each part of the circle, Sustaira has created low-code application templates dedicated to the needs of each area. These templates are “building blocks” meant to accelerate an organization’s journey that can be rapidly tailored to each organization’s needs. Underneath the circle, you see internal and external data sources such as ERP, CRM, PLM, HR Systems, Excel, and more. Think of Sustaira and the Mendix platform as a smart layer on top of these systems. The Sustaira platform and its low-code applications can integrate directly with these existing systems to bring all of your sustainability into a single source.
