Sustainability Impact Measurement System (SIMS)
Challenges in Monitoring Sustainability Goals
In a significant step forward for Green Innovation in 2022, we have developed and implemented a proprietary
internal digital platform known as the SIMS. This innovative system streamlines our approach to sustainability
by enabling the collection, consolidation and visualisation of critical data. SIMS empowers us to effectively
monitor progress towards our Apical2030 targets and facilitates comprehensive reporting across various
sustainability aspects.
