IBM continues to bolster its various sustainability software tools for partners and customers. Many of the new ESG software enhancements and capabilities surfaced at IBM Think 2024, a major customer and partner conference in Boston, Massachusetts.

First, a little background. IBM Envizi ESG Suite, the company's flagship sustainability software, allows customers to capture, consolidate, manage, analyze and report on environmental, social and governance data.

A new capability, called Envizi Planning and Forecasting, integrates Envizi’s ESG data model with an established planning and forecasting suite, known as IBM Planning Analytics

According to Kendra DeKeyrel, IBM's VP of ESG & asset management products leader: "The integration enables organizations to perform complex modeling and forecasting on their ESG data foundation using multiple variables and what-if scenarios. Automated daily updates help ensure you are working with the latest data to give you confidence in your analyses"
