How do I empower my sustainability strategy?

As sustainability rises to the top of every major organisation’s agenda, today we discuss how using geodata to assess key areas, businesses can create a more sustainable future while also gaining valuable insights into their operations and ask:

How do I empower my sustainability strategy?

Spatial intelligence is a term that describes the ability to understand and interpret data about the physical world around us. By using this intelligence, businesses and organisations can gain valuable insights into their operations and how they impact the environment. In turn, this knowledge can inform sustainability and ESG strategies and help to create a more sustainable future.

Here are five key areas to consider when using spatial intelligence to inform a sustainability strategy:

Floods: Climate change is expected to cause an increase in heavy rain and flooding. By using flood mapping datasets and API services, businesses can anticipate and respond to flood incidents more effectively.

Subsidence: Wet winters and hot summers cause the ground to shrink, which can lead to subsidence. Address-level data products and services can help businesses to understand the risk of subsidence and take appropriate action.

Pollution: Air pollution is a significant issue for everyone, including businesses across all sectors. Datasets such as AddressPollution are essential for organisations with an interest in air quality, the environment and policy making around healthier lives.?

Social impact: Access to green space is important for wellbeing and quality of life. By using data such as LandPack GreenAccess, which combines UPRNs, police crime data, tree coverage and more, businesses can understand how to improve access to green spaces.

Crime rates: The wholesale and retail sector experience the highest levels of crime. By using postcode-level datasets, businesses can gain insights into insurance claims for criminal damage, burglary, and arson.

At Emapsite we provide vital geospatial insights for professionals that are concerned with creating and maintaining sustainable businesses, as well as attracting green finance linked to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria. Datasets and API services that provide address-level intelligence about flood and subsidence help to identify current and future risk from climate related factors, while intelligence around air-pollution, crime and access to green space help to inform strategies for positive change for all. Helping businesses go from data to insight to action quicker than the competition.
