ITC Infotech, a leading global IT services and solutions company, and a fully owned subsidiary of ITC Ltd., launched its first indigenously developed sustainability management and reporting tool 'OptSustain'.

OptSustain simplifies the process of sustainability management in each of the stages of data capture, analysis, monitoring and reporting. Over the past few decades, the term 'sustainability management' has emerged as an integral part of an organization's business fundamentals. OptSustain, with its pre-configured templates based on national and international reporting standards, will help users to input and validate data, and generate actual reports, charts, dashboards, analysis reports and plans, which are an integral part of any Sustainability Report and Management Performance report.

Commenting on the development, Mr. B Sumant, Managing Director, ITC Infotech said, "We are glad to announce the launch of the OptSustain product, which I am sure will provide immense user benefits. We draw inspiration from ITC's exemplary sustainability performance which has helped us in conceptualizing this unique offering. The tool has been built based on our wide domain and consulting experience, and our in-depth knowledge of various sustainability reporting frameworks. It is feature-rich, and will help CXOs take more informed business decisions."

The tool also effectively captures and analyzes carbon footprint data, both at the enterprise and product level. It enables managing and reporting on international frameworks like GRI, UNGC, MDG, etc. while at the same time adhering to the Indian Ministry of Corporate Affairs 'Responsible Business' guidelines.
