Deloitte, Salesforce, AT&T Collaborate on IoT-Powered ESG Data Management Solution
Global professional services firm Deloitte, CRM solutions provider Salesforce and telecom giant AT&T announced today a new collaboration aimed at helping organizations collect and manage ESG data using an Internet of Things (IoT)-powered connectivity-based approach.
According to Deloitte Consulting Principal Luis Galito, the new approach aims to address the difficulties companies are experiencing in collecting ESG data across the value chain, as they face growing regulatory pressure to report on their sustainability progress.
The new collaboration brings together asset management solutions from AT&T that provide direct connectivity to organizations’ emission sources including stationary and mobile assets, with Deloitte’s sustainability management solution, Sustainability 360, which is powered by Salesforce’s emissions and ESG data platform, Net Zero Cloud.
According to the companies, combining direct connectivity to emissions sources with the sustainability management solutions will enable organizations to reduce manual data collection and enhance the integrity of ESG data in reports and disclosures, as well as accelerate the identification of sustainability improvement opportunities and emerging risk management.
