The Bigfoot Problem with Companies and Sustainability

Sustainability has a major bigfoot (print) problem. Global businesses may pledge one thing, but invest money in another.

Sustainability has a major bigfoot (print) problem. Many companies around the world today, are committing to goals of reaching net zero by the middle of the century. This issue with the majority of these companies is that the focus isn’t on reaching net-zero, but instead offsetting their carbon footprint. It is one thing to truly reduce your carbon footprint, and it’s another to buy your way out of a carbon footprint. The emphasis needs to be more on the “net” part of net-zero and looking at data that will help businesses target their inefficiencies. In other words, you cannot take back the cupcake you ate by eating a bag of carrots.


Vutility is changing the way the world works through data that matters. With most existing solutions today, the main issues are that they lack ROI. Where’s the ROI if current monitoring equipment requires extremely expensive installations and only a minor insight into energy usage data?
