Why firms need to intertwine sustainability practices and digital transformation initiatives

Eight in 10 organisations said IT infrastructure monitoring has helped them reduce emissions.

The sustainability practices and digital transformation efforts of organisations in Singapore are not on the same page, a report from IT infrastructure monitoring expert Paessler revealed.

According to the report, organisations view sustainability and digital transformation in silos and not as intertwined.

“Organisations are working on developing sustainability frameworks and digital transformation strategies in a piecemeal manner,” the report said.

“As a result, their resources, whether budgets, time or skills involved, are less effective,” the report added.

Whilst there’s a disconnect between the engaged sustainability practices and digital transformation journeys of organisations, they do acknowledge the benefits of intertwining these initiatives.

Organisations surveyed by Paessler said IT infrastructure monitoring helps them optimise energy consumption (81%), reduce emissions (95%), analyse the need for IT equipment (95%) and to quantify the volume of resources saved (81%).

“Many businesses see sustainability and profitability as a contradiction, but when the right
values are measured, it results in cost efficiency and a competitive lead. It is imperative to build a robust IT strategy, a digital transformation strategy and develop a sustainability framework which is all integrated by a comprehensive IT monitoring framework,” said Felix Berndt, regional sales manager of Asia Pacific, Paessler.

“Digital transformation can enable sustainability by making businesses more efficient, reducing their environmental impact, and helping them meet sustainability.
