Comprehensive professional documentation is instrumental in reducing a business’ energy consumption and harmful emissions. Complete, high quality IT inventory data helps an organization understand how its operations impact the environment and identify areas to target for improvement. FNT’s solution for Sustainability gives organizations the tools they need to take meaningful action today for a greener tomorrow.
Advantages of FNT’s Sustainability Solution
Documentation capability ensures the necessary, audit-ready overviews of CO2 footprint data are available for input into financial statements that require reporting on sustainability from 2024 on.
Comprehensive documentation supports monitoring the infrastructure’s power consumption, power networks and utilization. Advanced planning capacity facilitates identifying hotspots and redistributing heat-generating equipment across a data center, allowing room temperature to be raised and cooling capacity lowered.
Find systems and equipment that aren’t performing a useful purpose and shut them down with quality documentation that is recorded across the lifecycle of its components. Capturing this level of information on all installed equipment and managing it across the organization makes it possible to see and act on relationships and dependencies between the different components of the infrastructure.
Lower energy and cooling expenses from minimizing energy consumption and heat generation. Eliminate waste in infrastructure operation by accurately determining capacity needs and limiting resource usage to what’s truly necessary. Reduce placement costs by opting for eco-friendly equipment that has enhanced durability and longer lifespans. Minimize time-consuming troubleshooting and repairs with a well-documented infrastructure.
Remain eligible for financing from investment funds that require adherence to sustainability standards. Detailed infrastructure eco footprint documentation is essential for the sustainability reporting needed during the application process.
Capture Scope 2 and 3 emissions produced by operating the IT, data center and network infrastructures. An integrated data structure holds ISO compliant environmental profile declarations (EDPs) and uploads them to the device type master data management. Capturing and reporting on CO2 and other eco factors gives real data about your carbon footprint so you can adjust as needed.
Establish monitoring and reporting mechanisms to track progress towards sustainability goals. Use key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure environmental performance and identify areas for improvement.
Highlights of FNT’s Sustainability Solution
FNT’s solution for Sustainability provides accurate and complete documentation of all resources in the data center, telecom and IT infrastructure, plus documentation of the hard-to-keep-track- of Scope 3 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions that are produced by operating these infrastructures. This information is stored as a digital twin, which provides a reliable basis for analyzing energy usage, equipment in service and carbon emissions. Coupling the digital twin with analytics surfaces the right information for organizations to make decisions and formulate actions to minimize the impact of operating their infrastructure on the environment.

FAQ: Improving Corporate Sustainability
In broad terms, being sustainable means that a business operates in a way that meets the needs of the present without compromising future generations. There are numerous types of sustainability, but economic, environmental, and social sustainability are the most prominent.
Environmental sustainability involves minimizing the environmental impact of the corporation's operations, products, and services. This includes reducing greenhouse gas emissions, minimizing waste generation, conserving natural resources, and adopting environmentally friendly practices such as using renewable energy sources and sustainable materials.
Achieving environmental sustainability requires examining and adjusting a corporation's strategies, policies, and operations. Corporations that prioritize environmental sustainability recognize that their long-term success is interconnected with the well-being of the environment and aspire to create value while minimizing negative impacts.
Prioritizing sustainable business practices is not just a moral imperative, but it’s also a strategic necessity for businesses. Sustainable business practices directly impact:
- Long-term viability, by minimizing risks associated with environmental degradation, resource depletion, and social unrest. Conserving resources and reducing waste helps businesses mitigate operational risks and maintain profitability in the face of changing market dynamics and regulatory requirements.
- Reputation and brand value, as consumers and investors increasingly value sustainability and corporate responsibility. Businesses that prioritize sustainable practices can enhance their reputation, build trust with customers, attract investors, and differentiate themselves in the market. A strong sustainability track record can also lead to increased brand loyalty and market share.
- Cost savings and operational efficiency, since sustainable practices can result in reducing energy consumption and optimizing resource usage, which can lower production costs and improve margins. Investments in energy-efficient technologies and adapting sustainable supply chain practices can yield long-term financial benefits.
- Regulatory compliance, which is increasingly important as governments around the world are implementing regulations and policies aimed at addressing environmental challenges such as climate change and pollution. Businesses that comply with regulations reduce the risk of fines, legal liabilities, and reputational damage and also remain eligible for government incentive programs and capital markets reserved for companies that can demonstrate they meet the requirements.
