By 2 Minutes Read Sust Global announced that it has achieved the Google Cloud Ready – Sustainability designation in the Google Cloud Partner Advantage Program. By earning the Sustainability designation, Sust Global has proven their success in building and producing solutions and tools on Google Cloud to help customers achieve their sustainability and Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) goals. The designation was awarded based on Sust Global’s product, Climate Explorer, a web-based geospatial intelligence application that provides an easy workflow to upload, process and export climate-related risk insights and financial impact analysis at the property and portfolio level. It combines frontier climate models and satellite-derived earth observation data using Sust Global’s proprietary generative AI-powered risk assessment workflow to increase the cadence, resolution, and quality of climate-related physical risk analysis. “We are thrilled to achieve the Google Cloud Ready – Sustainability designation. With our Climate Explorer product, we’ve leveraged the power of AI and data transformation on the Google Cloud platform to address the pressing need for reliable climate-related risk and impact analysis at a global scale. Our APIs serve composable climate data and analytics, enabling new and existing customer workflows (compositions) across real estate, corporate risk management and nature-based carbon to be climate informed,” said Gopal Erinjippurath, co-founder, CTO and Head of Product at Sust Global. “This is just the beginning – we look forward to enabling the creation of more innovative applications that drive positive environmental impact and support our customers in achieving their sustainability goals.” Sust Global’s products currently serve sustainability objectives at global scale, processing hundreds of thousands of customer assets across six continents. This enables organizations to meet mandatory and voluntary disclosure requirements, design new sustainable, climate-aware financial instruments, and manage risks to physical assets, investment portfolios, supply chains, natural capital, and more. “Utilizing Sust Global’s climate data and analytics, ACA Global is able to provide our customers with dependable, precise, and actionable insights for risk assessments across multiple regions and climate scenarios. This enables robust climate risk reporting, resilience planning, and climate-informed asset management strategy”, said Julian Seelan, Managing Director of ESG Strategy & Product Development at ACA Group. The new solutions of the Google Cloud Ready – Sustainability partner program will help customers achieve meaningful climate objectives for their businesses. Partners with this designation deliver solutions that reduce carbon emissions, increase the sustainability of value chains, help organizations process ESG or help them identify climate risk for increased resilience. “We are already seeing the catastrophic impacts of climate change, for example, the extreme heat events in Europe, wildfires in Canada and major flooding in Pakistan. The physical risks of climate change are very real and will impact public infrastructure, communities and businesses. Our Google Cloud partner ecosystem is bringing leading solutions to build resilience to these risks and to help our joint customers deliver on their sustainability goals,” said Justin Keeble, managing director of global sustainability at Google Cloud. “These new solutions will be accessible through our Google Cloud Ready – Sustainability validation program for customers to take action to build climate resilience. We are really excited to have Sust Global join this exclusive group.” Google Cloud Ready for Sustainability is part of the Google Cloud Partner Advantage program, designed to maximize Google Cloud partners’ success across business models, customer requirements, success metrics, and strategic priorities.
