IBM Environmental Intelligence Suite
This platform aggregates energy consumption data from IT infrastructure, facilities and supply chain. It normalises data across different measurement sources, calculates Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, and provides visibility into which technology decisions drive the largest carbon footprint. Organisations use this data to prioritise carbon reduction efforts where they’ll have the greatest impact per pound of investment.
IBM Cloud Sustainability Services
For organisations moving workloads to cloud, IBM’s sustainability services measure carbon impact before and after migration. The service compares on-premises energy consumption with cloud provider efficiency metrics, helping organisations measure the carbon footprint impact of cloud migration. Includes supply chain assessment to account for embodied carbon in cloud infrastructure and equipment.
IBM AI for Environment
Machine learning optimises energy consumption in real-time. The platform learns your facility’s energy patterns, predicts demand, and recommends operational changes that reduce consumption without affecting performance or comfort. Typical deployments reduce HVAC energy consumption by 15-20%, reducing both carbon footprint and energy costs.
IBM Sustainability Governance & Reporting
Sustainability reporting requirements vary by sector and jurisdiction – TCFD disclosure, CSRD compliance, Science-Based Targets initiative frameworks. IBM’s governance platform helps organisations structure sustainability data collection, manage cross-functional reporting workflows, and publish reports that meet multiple disclosure frameworks simultaneously. Reduces the operational complexity of tracking sustainability metrics across the organisation.
