The path to an ESG operation
ESG (Enviromental - Social - Governance) is the acronym that has attracted the eyes of industries to an imminent and extremely urgent need. Since the first industrial revolutions, industries have introduced automation into their operations. In the first, coal moved the heavy machines through steam and replaced the brute human force of the time. In the second, electricity not only revolutionized industry, but the whole world. We can still mention the third revolution, in which information systems, just-in-time model, and adherence to computing, introducing new concepts capable of revolutionizing the industry once again through digitization. As we can see, change [...]
ESG : Main concepts and aspects to a better future
ESG stands for Environmental - Social - Governance. These are guidelines that guide financial companies towards the challenges and social objectives of the 21st century. Initially conceived in 2004 in the UN global pact in partnership with the world bank, the ESG strategies are about 03 pillars that must work in perfect harmony so that companies can generate sustainable growth, and be aligned with global goals. Next, we will show what each of the pillars means, and how important it is within organizations. E - Environmental The first ESG pillar concerns the good environmental practices that an [...]

Energy transition is possible through technology
The energy transition is one of the most important agendas for the industrial sector in order to contain the advance of global warming. But how can this be done feasibly? The need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has been highlighted in recent months around the world. The role of the industrial sector in this change is to transform its operations so that energy dependence on non-renewable sources is eradicated. The task is far from simple and requires time and investment to actually get it done. However, from the digital transformation and its technologies, industries have the opportunity to [...]
The energy transition in industries is a necessity of now
Finding solutions for energy transition within industrial plants is a necessity that requires action. This need is the result of the race in search of industrial operations so that they do not emit greenhouse gases, being compliant with what we call ESG (Environmental - Social - Governance) strategies. The subject has gained importance in recent years. Governments try to ease the way for a change of operation aiming at the goal of containing the advances of global warming and climate change on the planet. Reducing costs and changing policies on the subject was the starting point [...]
Why industries must change their energy source
To reduce the environmental impact of our industries, switching energy sources is necessary. In recent years, this agenda has gained considerable prominence along with the demand for ESG (Environmental - Social - Governance) operations. The goal is to zero carbon emissions in the industrial sector by the year 2050 through the application of technology and especially the change of energy sources to renewable sources with a lower environmental impact. The issue of decarbonization comes to the fore amid a period where technology and digital transformation have dramatically changed the way industries operate. The digitization movement allows these industries to [...]
Digital Transformation: A Sustainable Future for Mining
Since ancient times, human beings have already used mining to produce utensils, materials, and tools that would be capable of transforming their lives. Since then, the mining sector has been industrialized, and in recent years it has been digitized thanks to the rise of digital transformation. Although this industry has evolved in recent decades, there is still a lot to be done to solve today's challenges. . Journey to a net-zero strategy According to a report published by PWC, the mining industry was one of the few organizations where the results of the pandemic period remained stable. [...]
Use data to your advantage in industrial operations
With the arrival of new technologies on the factory floor and the constant implementation of Industry 4.0 concepts and digitization of processes and operations, industries began to automate tasks generating valuable knowledge through data to gain performance. However, these industries have gigantic plants, and consequently, a lot of data. We know that in the moment of technological evolution in which we live, data is essential, and the trend is that gradually even more data is generated. Read: Secrets of Industry 4.0 However, the increase in information extraction generates a counterpoint within industries, which must be taken into [...]
