Univers, the global decarbonization software leader headquartered in Singapore, has released its second Sustainability Report, recording substantial progress on its Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) priorities, and delivering meaningful impact to its customers on their energy transition journeys.

In 2023, Univers has outperformed its sustainability targets, achieving 100% renewable electricity for its office operations one year ahead of schedule. The company has also made notable progress in reducing its environmental impact, with a 32% reduction in Scope 2 emissions, compared to its 2020 base year, and an impressive 95% recyclability rate for its EnOS™ Edge products as certified by its accredited recycling providers.

A cornerstone of Univers’ success is its profound impact on customers as a trusted decarbonization partner. Amidst the global race to triple the world’s renewable energy generation capacity by 2030 and limit global warming to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels, Univers has monitored over 6 million tons of carbon emissions, and helped customers abate over 484 million tons of emissions by providing real-time monitoring, actionable insights and control of integrated energy systems. This is equivalent to driving 1.4 million vehicles for a year according to the US EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator.

Michael Ding, Global Executive Director, Univers, said, “In the race to combat climate change and achieve net-zero emissions, Univers is not only helping our customers effect meaningful change but is also steadfast in our own sustainability journey. Our achievements and ambitious goals underscore the role we play in mitigating climate change, and dedication to creating a sustainable future for all.”

Looking ahead, Univers has set ambitious goals to further advance its decarbonization efforts. By 2030, the company aims to achieve a 42% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions and a 52% reduction in Scope 3 emissions intensity per unit revenue. Additionally, Univers is dedicated to reaching net-zero emissions by 2040, demonstrating its dedication to long-term environmental stewardship.

Univers has also received recognition for its excellence in sustainability practices. The company has been awarded the highest tier Leadership band, achieving an ‘A-’ score from CDP, surpassing industry and global averages in the IT and software development sector. Univers’ inaugural participation in EcoVadis also saw the company placed in the top 35% of firms, affirming its commitment to sustainability.

Univers is committed to becoming leading the net zero transition and revolutionizing the global energy and carbon management landscape. It is the world’s leading decarbonization technology partner with more than 660GW of managed energy assets, over 240 million connected devices, and a growing portfolio of more than 800 global customers.
