Case Study: Downer Group achieves science-based ESG reporting with IBM Envizi ESG Suite

Downer standardizes and centralizes its ESG-tracking efforts with automated reporting powered by the IBM Envizi ESG Suite

Downer Group, a provider of integrated services in transportation, utilities, and facilities management, needed a better way to manage rapidly growing ESG and greenhouse gas reporting requirements. Its sustainability data had been handled manually in spreadsheets, creating heavy labor, higher error risk, and compliance challenges under Australia’s reporting rules. To address this, Downer turned to IBM and the IBM Envizi ESG Suite.

IBM implemented IBM Envizi ESG Suite to centralize ESG data, automate reporting, and support science-based decarbonization tracking across the business. The result was faster monthly reporting, improved data credibility, and better audit readiness, including a 45% reduction in categorization errors and scope 3 processing that now takes moments instead of months. Downer also ingested 20 million lines of data from 33,000 suppliers, helping the company track progress toward its net-zero and emissions-reduction goals.
