Drive forward sustainability with innovation and data

Today’s leaders understand that becoming a sustainable organization is not only the right thing to do but is also the smartest way to achieve positive business outcomes. To be successful, organizations must embed sustainability into their DNA to manage, measure and track the outcomes of their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives—and, more importantly, to ensure a safe and resilient future for all.

Together with our third-party alliances, we help clients progress their sustainability goals through innovation, ecosystem collaboration, enabling technologies and relevant data.

Sustainability business solutions

We offer innovative solutions tailored to clients’ industry priorities, ranging from efforts to mitigate climate change.

Supporting the energy transition with intelligent, optimized grid management
Enabling ecosystem data sharing

Our CGI AgileDX data exchange platform solves complex data challenges for sustainability, hydrogen ecosystems and the energy transition. It provides a centralized view of data and processes, promotes full transparency and auditability, and enables seamless internal and external data sharing and communication.

Identifying urban heat islands

Using Earth observation (EO) data, we help clients identify green spaces, urban heat islands and living conditions at the neighborhood level. Our novel Healthy Urban Habitat Index (HUH) index further analyzes and classifies these living conditions based on urban green and blue availability, urban heat stress and air pollution to assist with greening actions.

Calculating solar energy potential

Solar energy generated by rooftop panels is a powerful tool in reaching environmental sustainability goals for governments, businesses and individuals. Our advanced solar energy calculator uses the latest in space, geospatial and utilities-industry technology to provide precise data for making informed decisions about moving to solar energy.

Assessing risks and damage from natural events

CGI EnvironmentMonitor360 uses space data to help assess risks and damage from natural events such as hurricanes, floods and storms.

Better managing food waste

CGI Aromi's Food Waste module helps companies manage food waste more effectively. It uses real-time data to track the amount and types of food waste across various facilities. This helps pinpoint sources of waste, implement corrective measures, and ultimately reduce the CO2 emissions associated with food disposal.

Supporting chemical product stewardship

CGI ProSteward360 drives sustainable practices by enabling organizations to manage a wide range of chemical, regulatory, toxicology, product, facility, and location data.

Reducing carbon footprints using digital twin technology

CGI DataTwin360 streams real-time data, provides carbon accounting, and delivers insights for organizations to act on through a bespoke virtualized model of their hosting platforms, known as a digital twin.

Improving renewable energy asset management

Our Renewables Management System (RMS) enables the proactive and efficient management of renewable assets by providing greater insight into operations and analyzing key performance indicators and their evolution.

View of Earth and stars from space

Space for sustainability

Space data and technology are increasingly valuable resources for monitoring, understanding and preempting the impacts of climate change. Using satellite-based sensing technologies and imaging devices that continuously orbit our planet, Earth observation (EO) missions gather information about Earth’s physical, chemical and biological systems. 

This data informs climate knowledge, science, monitoring and early warning systems to guide policy change and practical action. Using EO data, we can protect valuable carbon capturing seagrass and great whales, optimize solar-energy generation, and effectively manage forests to support biodiversity and sustainable growth.
