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.

It also describes ways we help clients embed sustainability in everything they do, and use the power of data to advance their climate goals and deliver value to their stakeholders.
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.

Enabling healthier cities with Earth observation solutions
Extreme temperatures and urbanization are both set to dramatically increase in cities around the world. The resulting loss of green and blue areas, heat stress and air pollution are all key areas affecting citizens’ quality of life and neighborhood-specific living conditions.
Using Earth observation (EO) data, we help clients identify green spaces, urban heat islands and living conditions at the neighborhood level. Our novel Healthy Urban Habitat (HUH) index further analyzes and classifies these living conditions based on urban green and blue availability, urban heat stress and air pollution to assist with greening actions.
