Climate change is one of the most urgent and complex challenges facing humanity today. It poses a serious threat to the environment, the economy, and the society at large. Businesses have a crucial role to play in addressing this challenge, not only by reducing their own greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, but also by influencing their customers, suppliers, investors, and regulators to adopt more sustainable practices.
However, measuring, reporting, and reducing GHG emissions can be a daunting task for many businesses. They may lack the data, tools, or expertise to track their carbon footprint across their operations, supply chain, and products. They may also face difficulties in setting science-based targets, implementing reduction strategies, and communicating their progress and impact to their stakeholders.
That's why Ricoh, IBM, and CorPlan have partnered to create a special solution through CorEST, a cloud-based platform that helps businesses to measure, manage, and reduce their GHG emissions in alignment with the best practices and standards in the industry. CorEST leverages the power of IBM Planning Analytics platform to provide businesses with a comprehensive and reliable platform for climate action.
