Abstract

An enterprise system may include one or more devices that perform respective operations of an enterprise and a sustainability platform system to determine a sentiment regarding input data by monitoring one or more input data sources based on monitoring parameters associated with aspects of sustainability of the enterprise. Additionally, the sustainability platform system may determine if changes to the input data are likely to have occurred based on the sentiment, and, if so, trigger a data search for the new input data. The sustainability platform system may also obtain the new input data via the input data sources based on the data search, generate one or more sustainability action plans for improving sustainability parameters of the enterprise based on the new input data, and send one or more commands to the devices to adjust their respective operations according to the one or more sustainability action plans.
