Fellowmind recognized as a Global Finalist in the Microsoft Partner of the Year 2024 for digitizing sustainability

Amersfoort, The Netherlands - June 27, 2024

Fellowmind was honored among the prestigious global selection of top Microsoft partners for their work on sustainability capabilities, helping OSTP, a Nordic company specializing in welded stainless steel tubular products and related custom equipment to track the path toward net-zero emissions and ultimately continue their work on achieving ambitious sustainability goals.

The Microsoft Sustainability Changemaker Award recognizes and honors companies that make significant contributions to sustainability through innovative and impactful use of technology. Doing so highlights the front runners in developing solutions to address environmental challenges, promote sustainable practices, and drive positive change in their communities and industries.

Fellowmind creates solutions that connect systems, break down data silos, and help customers access real-time data and transparency on a variety of ESG data, carbon emissions in particular. The solutions are built on Microsoft technologies, including Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability and Microsoft Fabric, which provides real-time reporting and helps companies stay ahead of regulatory requirements.

In 2023, Fellowmind implemented Microsoft’s Cloud for Sustainability as one of Europe's first partners and customers. Together with OSTP, Fellowmind, implemented Microsoft Sustainability Manager, also integrating it into the OSTP Microsoft data platform, facilitating the tracking of the company’s progress toward net zero emissions. The previous quotation app for OSTP's sales personnel was developed by Fellowmind and includes not only quotes and prices but also emissions through an accessible interface that will also benefit from the real-time emission data available thanks to the implementation of Microsoft's Sustainability Manager.

Reducing carbon footprint requires accessing and analysing data to identify areas for improvement. Yet, making this data available is often complex due to integrating diverse systems, business processes, and external partners along the value chain.

Implementing Microsoft Sustainability Manager at OSTP supports both Fellowmind’s and Microsoft’s missions by simplifying emission data collection, calculation, and reporting processes. This reduces the workload on individuals involved, decreases resource dependency, and enables wider sharing of results and insights with stakeholders, fostering greener decision-making and increasing positive impacts.
