Abstract

An enterprise system may include one or more devices that perform respective operations of an enterprise and a sustainability platform system. The sustainability platform system may obtain a sustainability model representative of a state of operations of the enterprise and a sustainability action plan associated with improving one or more sustainability parameters of the enterprise. The sustainability platform system may also determine confidence data associated with a likelihood that the sustainability action plan will improve the sustainability parameters, simulate an effect of the sustainability action plan on the sustainability parameters based on the sustainability model and the confidence data, and determine a selection of the sustainability action plan or an alternate sustainability action plan based on the simulated sustainability parameters. In response to selection of the sustainability action plan, the sustainability platform system may send commands to the devices for adjusting their respective operations according to the sustainability action plan.
