What Is GreenIt!

It is an Information Technology based organization, specializing in Sustainability Data Science in order to promote "sustainability via critical mass"!

For example via our Hot Box, a device for energy saving during food preparation.

Our focus is on promoting green socio-economic upliftment of the poor, thereby reducing the negative impact on the environment through mass positive actions.



Measuring the impact of Green Solutions for Poverty Alleviation

Philosophically, Green is actually Sustainability in its total sense, hence requiring  synergy and harmony in all spheres of Life.

Thus, Sustainability requires holistic formulae.

GreenIt! seeks to avoid reinventing wheels and works on promoting synergies between the numerous green activities that are currently deployed, mostly in a fractured manner.


Hence:


Our mission is to promote poverty alleviation via Green Solutions, providing Measurement as proof thereof.


GreenIt! Services

Our services are ultimately all about impact measurement.

Without measurement, the efficiency and cost effectiveness of the spend (be it Governmental or Corporate Social Investment) is not fully transparent.   

We focus especially on measuring the Green Cost/Benefit Ratios for projects in both Government & the Private Sector.

All products and services distributed via our Ukuvuya Kit at Host Municipalities are tracked and monitored and their Green Cost/Benefit Ratios, calculated by default.

In the same breath we can for example harvest carbon credits wherever and whenever these occur...

Formally, this is measurement for Impact metrics to support investments intended for triple bottom-line returns.



Technology Approach

Due to the inter-connected nature of the variables in the Sustainability equations we seek to utilize technology that embraces this reality.

Modelling this reality requires data.

Our focus is thus on being able to mine data and repackage it as information from wherever it exists within the enterprise or external to it

We utilize not only a Business Intelligence (BI) approach as it is currently understood but also other technologies that support and complement this approach.

For example, we see the spatial dimension, the ability to geographically visualize the BI, as essential.


Hence geo-spatial analysis is a fundamental component.

We also see the importance of being able to feed relevant, current and accurate data into complex processes such as Linear Programming models and Operations Research algorithms. 

Linear Programming (LP) allows the exploration of the maximization and minimization of parameters e.g. carbon footprints, enterprise sustainability, and so forth.

Operations Research (OR) is key to understanding the efficiency and effectiveness of business, operational and logistical processes.However, the benefit of all these calculations and modeling depends on the data fuel feeding in.

By finding the right data at the right time, and applying appropriate educational and incentive strategies the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) can be influenced to apply over a greater spread of human activities:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuznets_curve

There are many ways to influence this - for example via the Lowry Hypothesis to make Green deeply ingrained within products and services ... and also via Green solutions for poverty alleviation, the focus of GreenIt!
