EnvitecVisio – a software platform for managing a sustainable food value chain
EnvitecVisio
EnvitecVisio is a software platform developed by Envitecpolis Oy to help farms and food industry companies systematically manage environmental impacts, sustainability data and information across the food value chain.
The platform brings together environmental assessment, profitability, farm-specific data, monitoring and reporting in one integrated solution. EnvitecVisio is also designed for situations where data is collected from multiple farms or food value chain operators and used for sustainability management, reporting and decision-making.
EnvitecVisio enables data to be collected, analysed and monitored reliably and at scale.
What does sustainability mean for farms and businesses?
Sustainability means managing a farm or business in a way that takes economic, environmental and social impacts into account in a balanced and transparent manner. In practice, sustainability can be considered through four key areas:
Economic sustainability
means profitable and long-term business management. It includes areas such as profitability monitoring, investment planning and sustainable business development.
Environmental sustainability
relates to the responsible use of natural resources, reducing environmental impacts and managing areas such as emissions, biodiversity and resource use.
Social sustainability
covers people-related considerations, including employee wellbeing, animal welfare, safety and responsible relationships with stakeholders and wider society.
Good governance
means transparent management, effective risk management and responsible decision-making.
The EnvitecVisio software platform helps farms and businesses consider these different dimensions of sustainability as one integrated whole. It brings together environmental, financial and operational data and supports sustainability monitoring, analysis and reporting.
EnvitecVisio – tools for sustainable and data-driven management
The EnvitecVisio software platform consists of several complementary solutions that support business and farm management, sustainability management and the effective use of data in decision-making.
