IT operations account for up to 3% of total global GHG emissions. With the rapid adoption of AI, this is expected to increase exponentially. As organizations face increasing pressure to reduce their carbon footprint, understanding and managing emissions from IT infrastructure has become critical to achieving sustainability goals. TCS Intelligent Urban Exchange™ for Green IT empowers businesses to achieve sustainability goals by monitoring and managing emissions across IT operations and applications, enabling compliance, efficiency, and decarbonization.
TCS Intelligent Urban Exchange™ enables organizations to comply with emerging regulations by creating Digital Product Passports (DPP) for assets such as EV and BESS batteries, thereby supporting compliance with the EU Battery Regulation. While this represents a major use case today that addresses a key concern of manufacturers and end clients alike, TCS believes that similar passport systems will be adopted for a broader range of products going forward, enabling traceability from the source through refining, manufacturing, and delivering to end users, and driving possibilities in the world of circularity.
TCS Intelligent Urban Exchange™ enables organisations to fully understand, manage, and forecast their GHG emissions throughout their value chain, offering a comprehensive solution for Scope 1, 2, and 3 sustainability insights and reporting.
Scope 3 can present a particular challenge. To address this, and to encourage transparency and efficiency, the TCS Intelligent Urban Exchange™ solution provides a secure portal for gathering Scope 3 data in various formats. By capturing direct, indirect, and supply chain-related emissions, organisations can identify key reduction opportunities, improve transparency, and ensure alignment with the GHG protocol.
Automated metrics and reporting aligned with industry standards such as GRI, SASB, TCFD, with quantitative and qualitative assessments across geographies, business units, and facilities.
TCS Intelligent Urban Exchange™ provides automated metrics and reporting that align with global regulations, including CSRD, ISSB, IFRS, and BRSR, among others. This holistic visibility not only supports regulatory compliance and ESG disclosures across multiple dimensions, such as geography and line of business, but also enhances stakeholder trust, protects brand value, and reduces long-term risks, positioning the organisation for sustained growth in a low-carbon or net-zero economy.
By providing comprehensive supply chain due diligence, TCS Intelligent Urban Exchange™ models emission dynamics throughout the value chain to facilitate scenario planning and what-if analysis. This enables the organisation to assess how changes in suppliers, supplier mix, or energy mix impact both carbon emissions and cost efficiency.
Various models can be planned for human decision-making, or our advanced AI engine can choose the most effective decisions on your behalf, ready to be actioned. This enables a key method for achieving sustainability goals and plotting a deliverable pathway to net zero. Ongoing value chain intelligence, delivered via the included supplier assessment tools, allows continuous monitoring of performance metrics and provides insights into supplier-related risk.
Evaluate physical and reputational risks to assets and operations, including financial impact and consumer sentiment analysis for proactive decision-making.
With pre-built tools to evaluate physical and reputational risks to assets and operations, including financial impact and consumer sentiment, proactive decision-making is enabled for a resilient enterprise. Organisations spend millions on growing their brand. Protecting that investment is crucial. Obtaining insights on how a brand is perceived will highlight areas where improvement may be needed, or it can quantify that existing measures are working well. Sustainability risk resilience enables you to minimize the impact of climate and physical risks, as well as projected losses, on your operations, while also identifying opportunities for improvement that yield enhanced outcomes on an ongoing basis.
Spend analytics and green project evaluation using internal carbon pricing and MACC to prioritize impactful sustainability initiatives.
By providing tools, including Spend Analytics and Green Project Evaluation, the Decarbonization Action module of TCS Intelligent Urban Exchange™ enables further emission reduction. Using the provided features for internal carbon pricing and marginal abatement cost curve (MACC), an organisation can plot project cost-effectiveness against the potential for emission reduction. As a decarbonisation planning tool, ROI insights are delivered, including the identification of projects that have the lowest positive costs or even negative costs, which may result in cost savings. With this data-driven approach, decarbonization action guides decision-making toward the most impactful strategies to achieve your decarbonisation goals.
TCS Intelligent Urban Exchange makes it easier for businesses and governments to deploy transformational next-gen sustainable, customer-centric initiatives.
