The partnership signifies an important impact to Sustainability across all industries. The strong Mendix capabilities allows Sustaira to increase agility and co-creation within the sustainability domain.
Across all industries there is a growing need and pressure for organizations across the globe to provide transparency around their ESG and sustainability data. This includes not only disclosing data, but employee engagement and transparency within an organization’s supply chain. The challenge many face in proving this transparency, data and engagement is a pervasive issue of disparate systems, manual and error prone data aggregation processes, and the added challenge of requesting information from external stakeholders.
Sustaira is uniquely positioned to support organizations overcoming these challenges and to accelerate success within their sustainability and ESG journeys. Sustaira offers a broader portfolio going beyond Environmental reporting, also addressing Social and Governance topics.
With a strong partnership with Siemens’ low code platform leader Mendix, Sustaira offers a building block approach which translates into highly flexible customization options, seamless integration capabilities, and overall agility to allow organizations to adjust to any future requirements or policy changes that are expected across the globe.
Recognize These Sustainability and ESG Challenges within Manufacturing?
-
Supply Chain and Scope 3 Complexity
Scope 3 across all industries is seen as challenging to navigate. As we explore manufacturing it can become even more complicated due to the innate amount of waste and water used, but also due to the fact that there are often many stakeholders involved in these processes. With supply chain being where most ESG impact is, visibility and understanding of supply chain is now a requirement, not a nice to have.
-
Industry 4.0
Manufacturers are disrupting or being disrupted by new technical advancements in the Sustainability field, reducing their environmental impact. Think about AI, blockchain, augmented reality, and IoT. These technologies have been disruptors and paved the way forward. Will you be a disputer or be disrupted? How will you keep up?
-
Siloed and Disparate Data
Often, data is spread across multiple systems or even users. not to mention, different data sources even just for different pieces of machinery or by location. This data is often even excel or email based. This means that there is no easy and efficient way to aggregate and manage that data nor make it actionable or insightful.
-
Waste
Within manufacturing, often there isn’t enough insight in traditional analysis tools, and due to this poor visibility into manufacturing process and suppliers, there is unnecessary waste and a larger footprint or impact.
-
ESG is Cross-Functional & Highly Dynamic
ESG is not siloed within just one team or area in an organization. There is pressure growing from all directions for organizations to take action. from Mandatory and changing requirements, to customers and employees demanding transparency, all the way up the ladder to Executives or boards and investors evaluating risk. ESG is built into all areas of an organization and must be addressed.
-
Sustainability and ESG Challenges are a Digital Issue
These business challenges put a tremendous pressure on the digital capabilities within organizations; supply chain transparency, industry 4.0 technology and big data, and ever changing requirements around ESG data transparency needs. Ultimately, businesses need digital solutions that don’t further complicate an already complex workflow and set of systems.
