In today’s business landscape, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) has evolved from a buzzword into a critical framework for sustainable growth. Companies are increasingly held accountable not only for their financial performance but also for their environmental and social impacts.
According to PwC report, 83% of consumers think companies should be actively shaping ESG best practices, while 91% of business leaders believe their company has a responsibility to act on ESG issues.
Yet, achieving and reporting on ESG compliance—particularly the environmental aspect—remains a challenge for many businesses.
However, technology is playing a pivotal role in simplifying ESG compliance. One such technology is UnityOne.AI’s Cloud Sustainability Dashboards, which help businesses measure, visualize, and manage their sustainability footprint across hardware assets, data centers, and public cloud resources. By offering detailed dashboards, analytics, and reports, UnityOne.AI provides a comprehensive toolset to support ESG reporting with ease.
According to a study by S&P Global, companies with stronger ESG performance enjoy lower costs of capital. Additionally, investors are increasingly favoring ESG-aligned businesses, with sustainable investments reaching over $35 trillion globally in 2022.
The intersection of regulatory demands and financial benefits has placed ESG compliance at the top of corporate agendas.

ShapeHow UnityOne.AI’s Dashboards Simplify ESG Compliance
Here are several ways UnityOne.AI’s Cloud Sustainability Dashboards can help organizations streamline their ESG compliance processes:
1. Centralized CO2 Data Collection and Visualization
One of the primary challenges in ESG reporting is gathering data from multiple, fragmented sources, especially when dealing with hybrid or multi-cloud environments. UnityOne.AI simplifies this by centralizing data collection across hardware assets, data centers, and public cloud resources into a single dashboard.
Key Benefit: Organizations can access a single pane of glass view of their sustainability metrics, reducing the time and effort needed to collate data from different platforms.
This approach ensures that every sustainability metric from energy consumption in data centers to the carbon footprint of cloud instances is visualized in real-time, making it easier for organizations to track their environmental impact and respond swiftly to deviations.
2. Real-Time Carbon Footprint Tracking
One of the most significant elements of ESG reporting is tracking carbon emissions. UnityOne.AI provides real-time visibility into the carbon footprint of cloud operations, enabling organizations to understand the environmental impact of their cloud usage.
Key Benefit: Real-time tracking of carbon emissions allows organizations to adjust their operations dynamically to meet sustainability targets.
For instance, businesses can analyze which cloud regions or services consume the most energy and adjust workloads to more sustainable, energy-efficient regions—without compromising on performance or cost-effectiveness.
3. Real-Time Carbon Footprint Tracking for End User Devices
Tracking carbon emissions in real-time is a vital component of ESG reporting. By focusing on end user devices, organizations gain visibility into the carbon footprint associated with these assets, enabling informed decisions that align with sustainability goals.
Key Benefit: Real-time tracking of carbon emissions empowers organizations to dynamically optimize device usage, manage power consumption, and meet sustainability targets more effectively.
For example, businesses can monitor which devices or usage patterns have the highest energy impact, then adjust device configurations or policies for improved energy efficiency—all while maintaining performance standards and managing costs effectively.
