SDGs
Informetis is contributing to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through its energy data solutions.
What is SDGs
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
Proactive involvement in delivering the SDGs
Informetis will contribute to practical actions for a carbon-neutral society by evolving the passive legacy energy infrastructure into an active, smart and valuable energy data infrastructure. Towards achieving the SDGs goals in 2030, we will focus on the following 6 areas alongside growing our own business.

Visualising energy data to help achieve a carbon neutral society
Wider adoption of sustainable energy is mandatory to achieve a carbon neutral society. Our technology solution can contribute in optimising energy management using high resolution energy data both within the home as well as for load balancing of the grid.
| SDGs goals | SDGs targets | Our contribution |

7. Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all
|
7.2 increase substantially the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix by 2030 |
Through our research and development in the area of energy optimization, we can contribute to stabilizing sustainable energy distribution and improve its economical affordability. |
|
7.a by 2030 enhance international cooperation to facilitate access to clean energy research and technologies, including renewable energy, energy efficiency, and advanced and cleaner fossil fuel technologies, and promote investment in energy infrastructure and clean energy technologies |
Through our unique handling of high resolution energy waveform data analysis, we can contribute to innovating the energy infrastructure. |
|
|
11. Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
|
11.a support positive economic, social and environmental links between urban, peri-urban and rural areas by strengthening national and regional development planning |
Through our development of apps focusing on social needs such as assisted living or disaster notification, we can contribute to the goal of leaving no one behind. |
|
13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
|
13.1 strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate related hazards and natural disasters in all countries |
We can contribute in case of disaster, such as by optimizing battery charging operation linked to extreme weather information. |
Extracting value out of energy data that can improve the QoL of everyone
Energy data extracted from daily life can be made beneficial for various social requirements. Ageing population, economical divide between city and urban dwellers are a common social challenge all over the world. By exploiting the full value of energy data, we can contribute to providing insights that will improve the Quality of Life (QoL) of everyone.
