Sometimes there are fears that sustainability has to be counterproductive to the bottom line. You read about some organizations promising to blanket the globe with millions of carbon-capturing trees and realize that those trees are also absorbing a lot of capital. Investors may like the leaves in programs like that, but when those programs are fertilized with barrels of red ink, it’s suddenly not so appealing.

Fortunately, there are ways to achieve both—and Emerson's DeltaV™ SaaS SCADA can be a black-ink-producing, carbon-reducing and safety-enabling option for companies trying to achieve both. The road to digital transformation for increased sustainability that present fiscal responsibility, and growth to hit targets may be much smoother than you think.
