Companies showcase the latest solution at
COP27
TEANECK,
N.J., Nov. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Cognizant is
expanding its collaboration with Microsoft to accelerate both
digital and sustainability transformations through a new solution –
the Cognizant® Sustainability Accelerator, powered by the
Microsoft Cloud and Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability. This
innovative solution combines both Cognizant's deep experience in
IoT and data analytics with Microsoft's industry-leading cloud
capabilities.
Cognizant and Microsoft are showcasing this robust solution
together at COP27, taking place this
week in Sharm El-Sheikh,
Egypt.
Corporate sustainability is more than a nice-to-have, optional
initiative for companies in today's economy. To grow, thrive, and
manage risk, companies must incorporate sustainability into their
strategies, operations, and cultures. Investors, regulators,
employees, and consumers all expect companies to radically reduce
or even eliminate their negative impacts while finding ways to
provide value and improve outcomes for people and the planet. And
stakeholders expect robust reporting to hold companies accountable
to their stated goals.
Accurate data and digital capabilities sit at the center of
helping companies determine the appropriate actions and demonstrate
accountability. The Cognizant® Sustainability Accelerator
automates the collection of data and provides valuable analytics
that allow clients to track and take action on their sustainability
goals. Utilizing Microsoft Sustainability Manager, Cognizant
delivers end-to-end capabilities required to automate the
collection, analysis and reporting of sustainability efforts.
"The Cognizant® Sustainability Accelerator, built on
the Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability, is designed to
significantly accelerate the implementation of sustainability data
acquisition and visualization. This, coupled with Cognizant's
sustainability advisory expertise, will help clients identify,
prioritize, automate, optimize and report on sustainability
actions," said Anna Elango,
Cognizant EVP, Core Technologies and Insights.
"We are focused on accelerating progress to realize a more
sustainable future, and our collaboration with Cognizant's
Sustainability practice, to bring the innovative
Cognizant® Sustainability Accelerator to market will
provide customers with data driven insights so they can make
decisions and implement the digital solutions that will help them
accurately measure and report on their sustainability goals and
progress," says Elisabeth
Brinton, Microsoft Corporate Vice President,
Sustainability.
"As a Chief Sustainability Officer, I understand the value of
streamlining data and reporting so that companies can get onto the
work of strategy. This new solution is designed help our clients do
just that," Sophia Mendelsohn,
Cognizant Chief Sustainability Officer.
A new e-book and video details more about how
Cognizant's Sustainability practice and Microsoft are supporting
