The Importance Of Data And Digitalization Roles To Achieve Sustainability

JAKARTA Along with the development of discussions about the impact of climate change on the quality of the environment in the world, sustainability has become an issue that is increasingly being discussed and implemented in various aspects.

Sustainability is closely related to the three-zero mission, namely zero emission (zero emissions), zero waste (zero waste), and zero inequality (zero inequality). This topic also became a hot issue discussed at the G20 Summit in Bali, last week.

Research conducted by SAP and Oxford Economics found that investing in data is the key to increasing sustainability results.

For this reason, SAP Indonesia as a business process solution provider company is committed to supporting the implementation of the sustainability program in Indonesia in the company's business process by prioritizing the role of data and digitization.

"Of course this is a good thing and we believe that this number will continue to grow significantly with the construction of a partnership with external parties," said Andreas Diantoro, Managing Director of SAP Indonesia in a statement received in Jakarta.

Furthermore, Andreas revealed that one of the factors in the success of implementing the sustainability plan is accurate data management to help the company achieve its sustainability goals.

The problem lies with the accuracy of the data that each company has, if the data collection process is carried out smoothly, the miscalculation of data does not occur and the sustainability plan can be carried out to achieve these goals and plans," Andreas explained.

Alexander Aviantara, Head of Geological System and Technology of PT Petrosea Tbk, said that Petrosea has used 4.0 technology such as the Internet of Tings (IoT), science and analysis data and smart sensors in the company's operations.

"Digitalization, for example, is applied to predictive maintenance for truck maintenance and heavy equipment to increase component life and overcome fuel consumption that is detected to be high above average. This initiative helps reduce energy use and prevents wastages," said Alexander.

According to him, digital transformation really helps them to support and implement the company's sustainability strategy.
