Sustainability reporting for manufacturers
Rockwell Automation, Inc., dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, has announced that its recently extended collaboration with Avvale and ESGeo will help industrial companies more easily address growing social, regulatory and investor expectations regarding sustainability reporting and performance.
The collaboration combines Rockwell Automation’ s operational technology( OT) data capabilities, Avvale’ s expertise as a system integrator partner( specialising in ERP and digital transformation) and ESGeo’ s enterprise solution for non-financial disclosures.
“ Expanding our offering to Level 4— the top level of the automation pyramid— allows us to offer even broader support to our customers, allowing them to more easily automate data collection and sharing, and improve sustainability outcomes,” said Emmanuel Guilhamon, Vice President of Sustainability, Rockwell Automation.“ We’ re helping them to make their operational data work twice as hard, by using it to create actionable insights that support both compliance and business value.”
The cloud-based ESGeo platform works with Rockwell software solutions to aggregate, contextualise and report data from automation systems, supply chains and enterprise sources, to support environmental, social and governance( ESG) reporting. It replaces manual data collection and spreadsheets and aims to help manufacturers“ unlock the wealth of untapped information and insights contained within their day-to-day operational data.”
Avvale, with its experience in the integration and digital transformation of industrial processes, assists companies in designing and implementing customised solutions. ESGeo strengthens the collaboration by providing a cloud-based, certified digital governance suite for ESG data. It offers organisations a centralised suite to collect, validate and communicate non-financial data and ESG metrics.
“ With Rockwell’ s technology and Avvale’ s expertise, we offer solutions that enhance operational efficiency, optimise productivity and accelerate the adoption of advanced technologies,” said Fabrizio Fiocchi, CEO and founder of ESGeo.“ This collaboration focuses
on integrating sustainability into business operations. With this solution, companies not only meet their international regulatory compliance goals but also optimise their social and environmental performance, creating longterm value for the business.”
The integration of ESGeo with business operations not only enables more efficient compliance with regulatory requirements but also facilitates the management, governance and enhancement of impacts, risks and opportunities through a direct link to operational processes.
A choice of deployment options is available. Users can engage directly with ESGeo or work with Rockwell and its PartnerNetwork™ system integrator, Avvale, to integrate the necessary systems. n
