Case Study: ista achieves streamlined, accurate sustainability reporting with SpheraCloud Corporate Sustainability (Sphera)

Ista - Customer Case Study

ista, a sub‑metering company based in Essen with €908.8 million revenue and 5,500+ employees, faced a time‑consuming annual sustainability data process—about 20 datasets collected from roughly 174 sites and ~130 people—relying on Excel and email with limited analytics, plausibility checks or planning tools. To modernize and measure progress, ista selected Sphera and its SpheraCloud Corporate Sustainability software for its intuitive design and comprehensive emission factor databases.

Over six months Sphera implemented SpheraCloud (including a compliance and control module and extended rule set) and delivered robust training, enabling automated, verifiable data collection across all sites, real‑time dashboards and on‑demand reporting. Sphera’s solution significantly reduced data‑collection and reporting effort, improved data quality with alerts and plausibility checks, simplified audit traceability, and positioned ista to set targets, model actions and extract deeper sustainability insights.
