Reduce environmental impact of operations
With the right data intelligence, organizations can direct targeted efforts to lessen the environmental impact of operations and plot a more sustainable and resilient course. Our global ecosystem of partners is delivering robust solutions powered by the Microsoft Cloud that use advanced analytics, machine learning, and virtual models to help customers optimize the efficiencies of their systems and processes. Integrated data solutions help you to examine and manage the footprints of your facilities, fleets, and production processes. You can then shift your employees' activities to be responsive to the changing requirements of a sustainable economy. With Microsoft Sustainability Manager, you can prioritize your initiatives and track and manage your progress.
Although it's important to identify opportunities to reduce energy consumption and emissions, it's also critical to adopt integrated systems to facilitate the transition to clean energy, efficient water use, and minimized waste disposed. For most organizations, it's not a straight path and requires flexibility to adapt to changes in markets, energy and waste infrastructures, and water resources. But intelligent tools can help you predict and adapt to changes while continuing to accelerate progress.
