Sustainability Enablement Technology Services PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2022

Top Sustainability Enablement Technology Services 

Enterprises have started adopting a triple-bottom-line approach, which encompasses people, planet, and profit in business strategies. The role of enabling technology for sustainability and responsible business models is fast evolving, with emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), predictive analytics, and blockchain underpinning the sustainability services market. 

While, currently, the focus is more on the planet aspect of sustainability, with providers designing net-zero strategies, providing climate risk assessment and auditing, and enabling sustainable product life cycles for their clients, the pandemic has put the social aspect of sustainability into the spotlight. Service providers have proactively started enhancing their people-led solution portfolios to help clients with accessibility, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB), and Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) services, along with planet-focused offerings.
