Energy, environment and utilities
From outages to increasing energy consumption rates, climate change and severe weather are having a significant impact on energy and utility firms. Failure to respond quickly and effectively can damage profitability and customer satisfaction. Energy and utility businesses are expected to lead the energy transition and net-zero carbon agenda while showing customer and compliance-driven environmental awareness. The shift towards decarbonization will accelerate renewable projects and increase the use of emerging technologies in the industry. With deeper insight into how the environment will affect operations, assets, and customers, providers can make more informed, proactive decisions.
Travel and transportation
The climate crisis is disrupting existing travel and transportation operating models, forcing airlines and airports to incorporate weather and climate insights to ensure more efficient, safe, and profitable ground operations. Airport and aviation industry leaders must deploy advanced analytics and intelligent workflows to reimagine their business processes and better predict how weather events will impact their operations, assets, employees, and customers.
Public sector
Sustainability is a key driver of policy priorities, and ultimately purchasing decisions, within local and federal governments. With the increase and severity of natural disasters globally, mandatory environmental reporting requirements and investments in green recovery efforts are helping mitigate the effects of climate change, to protect and restore natural resources and increase biodiversity.
Consumer packaged goods and retail
CPGs know they need to lean into their data to make faster and better decisions, especially in the face of substantial business impacts related to climate change. They understand the shortages of raw materials, fluctuating supply levels, changing consumer demands, workforce disruptions, and facility closures, and the need to turn data into insights into action. Additionally, corporate social responsibility has come into focus, and retailers are trying to incorporate solutions that drive sustainability in their operations and products. CPGs and retailers are using predictive analytics to drive new revenue channels, improve customer satisfaction and increase the resiliency of their supply chains worldwide.
Financial services
Today’s banks and insurers do more than write policies and pay claims. They are using data and analytics to discover innovative ways to improve policyholder satisfaction, manage risk, reduce claims, and prevent fraud. The increase in climate-related extreme events, including floods, wildfires and storms put tremendous stress on banks and insurance companies. New technology solutions help insurance providers protect policyholders and prevent damage, with automated alerts about severe weather risk and other threats, so users can protect themselves and their property while also reducing weather-related insurance claims.
Industrial products
The industrial products industry is facing great environmental challenges, including water resource risks, air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, climate change, and pollution. For companies focused on continuous improvements in transparency, decarbonization, emissions reduction, environmental reporting, and operational efficiency are top imperatives. This requires solutions and services to support energy management, supply chain, and intelligent operations to address corporate sustainability goals. Comprehensive reporting and environmental monitoring are critical to developing more sustainable practices and products.
