Sustainable technology strategies and programs promoted by the company promote actionable carbon neutrality roadmaps, which are based on data, IoT, Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain and cloud, among other practices.
With the pressure for efficient energy management, companies around the world have been looking to technologies such as AI, data and Blockchain, among others, to monitor and optimize energy consumption in organizations, reducing operating costs and contributing to sustainability and the climate roadmap.
In this context, Globant, a digital native company focused on reinventing businesses through innovative technological solutions, works at the intersection of digital technology and sustainability, bringing together knowledge, experiences, and skills to develop projects based on the UN 2030 Agenda (United Nations) and, in this way, promote responsible business.
“We analyze what the company’s corporate needs are and, through emerging technologies, we certify the company’s entire data chain to make a sustainability report. From there, we assess the organization’s degree of maturity and create a roadmap of new needs, which may include targets for reducing emissions, increasing social impact, and changing the governance structure to accommodate climate finance and carbon management,” explains Kefreen Batista, Vice President of Technology at Globant Brazil.
According to studies by PotencializEE (Program for Transformative Investments in Energy Efficiency in Industry), the adoption of these measures can result in savings of R$10 billion for the industrial sector by 2050. This means that using technology sustainably is not only a matter of social responsibility but also a competitive strategy.
“The use of technology, especially AI, helps, for example, to optimize the flow of energy in the grid, making it up to 40% more efficient. The role of technology is also vital in solving emergencies, such as climate change, earthquakes and hurricanes,” according to Batista.
In this context, Globant proposes robust initiatives that achieve low-carbon goals and promote corporate sustainability.
“With the organization responsive to its data, we can choose to go for biomass, renewables, small hydroelectric plants or nuclear, for example. Without this information, it is not possible to make the correct comparison of the ideal energy. Therefore, this is the work of technology, which works like a calculator,” adds Batista.
Having a more mature point of view regarding the adoption of technology for this purpose allows not only the scaling of the actions of companies but also to bring transparency to activities.
“The change must be cultural so that there is an appreciation of technological innovation and sustainability as essential factors and, thus, be able to respond to current and future environmental challenges. Companies that are in this endeavor, in addition to being well positioned, contribute positively to the planet,” said Batista.
