Sustainability is at the heart of SILA’s operations, reflecting our commitment to creating a healthier planet while delivering exceptional facility management services. We understand that businesses today are not just looking for operational excellence—they are seeking partners who can help them meet their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals. To align with these priorities, SILA integrates eco-friendly practices and innovative solutions into our service offerings.

A prime example of our commitment to sustainability is our collaboration with Schbang to develop an AI-powered tool that empowers individuals and businesses to make environmentally conscious decisions. This tool leverages cutting-edge technology to calculate the Minimum Environmental Price (MEP) of everyday items such as water bottles or notebooks. The MEP represents the time it takes for these items to decompose, providing users with valuable insights into the environmental impact of their choices.

How the AI-Powered Tool Works

The tool is simple yet transformative. Users can scan everyday items, and the AI instantly calculates their MEP, offering clear, actionable information about the product’s environmental footprint. For example:

A plastic water bottle’s MEP might indicate that it will take 450 years to decompose.
A paper notebook’s MEP might show a significantly shorter decomposition period of 2-6 weeks.

These insights empower businesses and individuals to choose products with lower environmental impacts, fostering greener purchasing habits.

Driving ESG Goals with Technology

For businesses aiming to improve their ESG scores, this tool can be a game-changer. By integrating it into procurement and operational processes, companies can:

Reduce Environmental Impact: Choose products that align with sustainability goals, minimizing waste and promoting responsible consumption.
Enhance Transparency: Provide stakeholders with clear evidence of sustainable practices and environmentally friendly choices.
Boost Brand Reputation: Demonstrate a commitment to environmental stewardship, attracting eco-conscious clients and partners.

At SILA, we’re excited to bring this innovation to our clients, helping them not only meet but exceed their sustainability objectives.

Sustainability in Action: Making Spaces Greener

Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond this tool. SILA incorporates environmentally conscious practices in all aspects of our facility management services:

Energy Management: Implementing energy-efficient lighting and HVAC systems to reduce consumption and lower carbon footprints.
Waste Management: Developing robust recycling programs and reducing single-use plastics across sites.
Water Conservation: Installing water-efficient fixtures and monitoring usage to minimize waste.

With the AI-powered tool, we’re taking our sustainability efforts a step further, enabling our clients to actively participate in building a greener future.
