“ This is EP ' s Sustainability mission : to help our clients bridge the gap between today ' s capabilities and the fully enabled Sustainable enterprise ”
ALEC KASUYA PRINCIPAL , DELOITTE
– when we think about the complexity of Sustainability as an issue for our clients , we see Sustainability as a driver of transformation , not as a singular effort , but one that unifies the needs of divergent initiatives and stakeholders .
At Deloitte , we are uniquely positioned to bring together enterprise stakeholders ; from the groups at the corporate centre , at the enterprise strategy level , stakeholders in manufacturing and supply chain , in finance , and in IT . Also , the stakeholders who have been charged with managing the employee experience . Comprehensively , that covers your buildings and facilities management , fleet management , and the operations of the enterprise . Connecting all of that is the technology backbone , one that must continually evolve to meet the needs of the enterprise .
As we ' ve evolved in this discussion around Sustainability and climate , what our clients want to focus on is what it really takes to reach tactical action and results – part of that is knitting together these different stakeholder groups around a common goal and common sense of purpose , when they often have potentially divergent needs .
For example , when you think about the level of information and data that ' s required to manage energy efficiency in a manufacturing plant , it comes down to sensor-level technology where you are measuring voltage in milliseconds . How do you roll that up in reports to strategic stakeholders or externalfacing groups ? From employee decision enablement to reporting , the enterprise requires an understanding of how the different aggregated data points impact the enterprise level . When we drop back down to the financial and external reporting lens , our clients are demanding that all internal and external data satisfies compliance and control requirements .
Wouldn ’ t it be simpler if all of this was integrated ?
At Deloitte , because of our multidisciplinary focus , our belief in technology as the backbone of the enterprise – serving as the integration point that brings it all together – I think we ' re uniquely positioned to help our clients to bridge this gap between today ’ s capabilities and where we want to go to fully enable the Sustainable enterprise .
