#Sustainability: Best in Class CSR strategy in Tech Industry
We worked with the Taskforce team and Executive Committee to define a clear Purpose for Ekimetrics, that would originate from the company values, further define the company mission. “We empower our Clients with Data Science & AI to drive their Sustainable Transformation in every Business Units and achieve Impact @ Scale to meet their Net Zero targets”.
With the development of new Client offerings in Carbon Measurement & Reduction, it was obvious for Ekimetrics to measure its own footprint, and establish an ambitious reduction pathway to reach Net Zero ahead of the Consulting & Tech industry that is aiming at 2030. The process allowed them to develop critical knowledge for their Clients.
Last, becoming a B-Corp was also a logical conclusion of the process, evaluating the 5 key dimensions of Sustainability for Ekimetrics: Purpose & Governance, Workers, Community, Environment and Customers. The process helped to maximise the already good scoring on most dimensions.
#Business Transformation: Creation of a new “AI for Sustainability” offering
We supported the development of a double Technology & Service offering: Impact Data Science Platform for automated Impact Measurement, and ESG Intelligence, to help Companies better understand the Climate Risk, the related Financial Risk on their Assets, and help them navigate their Sustainable Business Transformation, for instance by optimizing the Footprint of their Real Estate assets… and the economics of such Transformation. After careful Market & Competition analysis, we have advised for the right “Make or Buy” strategy to achieve maximum Impact with maximum effectiveness, leveraging existing players of the Impact ecosystem when relevant.
