The newly launched Sustainability iQ from Integrated fm is the world’s first truly auditable management system for CSR and sustainability, specifically designed to harvest, validate, audit and publish all the data needed to formulate and implement a sustainability/CSR policy

Sustainability iQ is a powerful new online tool able to collate environmental and other sustainability data from a wide range of sources, delivering massive savings in management time. In fact, what would once have been months of work can literally be reduced to just minutes.

Built on over 20 years experience of managing operational data, Sustainability iQ is fully web-enabled and highly configurable to suit each organisation’s processes, as well as industry-wide standards (e.g. Defra, Accounting for Sustainability). It can import data from everyday FM software (e.g. help desk, asset management, bookable resource management), directly from supply chain partners’ systems, and from spreadsheets – with the ability to input data direct into the system as well. All data is validated and made available for fast evaluation and reporting, with a full audit trail of origins and any changes.

Sustainability iQ enables reporting by service type (utilities, waste etc) and/or service line (heating, lighting, glass recycling, paper recycling, etc.) – collated by department, building, region or entire global portfolio – over any time period, while also taking account of seasonal variation. It can also be compared directly against corporate sustainability targets (e.g. electricity consumption, carbon emissions, travel mileage).

A digital dashboard facilitates reporting at all levels from macro overview down to granular detail, populating pre-prepared report templates for even greater time-savings. Reports can be generated in a range of formats, including PDF and Excel.

Each user is assigned a defined role with pre-determined permissions and guided through the procedures by the software’s inbuilt logic, so that processes are adhered to at every stage. Crucially, the software records every action in the background, creating a detailed audit trail that can be examined and reported on at any time, ensuring complete control throughout the process.
