Drive forward sustainability with innovation and data
Today’s leaders understand that becoming a sustainable organization is not only the right thing to do; it’s the smartest way to achieve business outcomes. To be successful, organizations must embed sustainability into their DNA to manage, measure and track the outcomes of their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives—and, more importantly, to ensure a safe and resilient future for all.
As clients accelerate their holistic digital transformation journeys, integrating sustainability actions throughout their value chains has become a top priority. Together with our partners, we help clients activate and advance their sustainability goals through innovation, ecosystem collaboration, enabling technologies and relevant data—helping them move from aspiration to action.

Building a more sustainable and inclusive world
Our environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitment is rooted through our core Values, through projects delivered in collaboration with clients, and through operating practices, supply chain management, and community services projects.
Data is a key enabler in measuring sustainability-related factors, from energy and resource use to greenhouse gas emissions, to water and waste usage, to supply chain performance. Through the powerful combination of industry and technology knowledge, we help clients track sustainability actions across their value chains, including ecosystem partners and suppliers.

Space for sustainability
Space data and technology are increasingly valuable resources for monitoring, understanding and preempting the impacts of climate change. Using satellite-based sensing technologies and imaging devices that continuously orbit our planet, Earth observation (EO) missions gather information about Earth’s physical, chemical and biological systems.
This data informs climate knowledge, science, monitoring and early warning systems to guide policy change and practical action. Using EO data, we can protect valuable carbon capturing seagrass and great whales, optimize solar-energy generation, and effectively manage forests to support biodiversity and sustainable growth.
