## 5 Proposed Operational Model: Real-Time Sustainability Monitoring Dashboard
### Model Structuring
#### 5.1.2 F#2: Data Collection and Management  
The next phase, which is equally critical, is data collection and management. After defining the indicators, it is necessary to collect data related to each indicator in a systematic and structured manner. Data collection takes place through Business Analytics tools, such as Company Reports (CRs), which are digitized and stored in the company's IT systems. These reports contain critical information about various aspects of sustainability, such as energy consumption, CO\({}_{2}\) emissions, waste management, and so on. The use of digital systems enables efficient data collection and storage in an easily accessible and updatable format.  
Data management represents the next crucial step, where the collected data are organized, structured, and stored in SQL (Structured Query Language) databases. SQL is a standard used to manage and manipulate large volumes of data through structured tables, divided into rows and columns. This tabular format allows for simple and efficient data storage and querying, centralizing the information in a single system that facilitates access and consultation. Managing data in SQL systems also allows for processing the data so that they can be easily used for analysis and reporting. Data management can be carried out using simple tools offered by Microsoft 365, such as Azure, due to its ability to provide a scalable and secure platform for data storage and processing. Azure offers a wide range of services that support the integration and management of business data, allowing companies to store, analyze, and visualize data efficiently. Using Microsoft Azure

**Pillar** & **KPI** & **SDG/Justificative** \\ \hline Environmental & CO\({}_{2}\) emissions per unit of product & SDG 13: Climate Action. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is crucial for combating climate change and limiting global warming. & SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation. Managing water resources sustainably is essential to ensure access to safe and sustainable drinking water for all. \\  & Percentage of recycled materials & SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production. Promoting the use of recycled materials reduces waste and environmental impact, contributing to more sustainable production. \\  & & SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy. \\  & Energy cost per unit of product & Optimizing energy use and reducing energy costs per product unit helps improve energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact. \\ Economic & Percentage of turnover from sustainable products & SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth. Increasing revenue from sustainable products supports inclusive and sustainable economic growth. \\  & & SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production. Ensuring suppliers adhere to ethical standards is key to promoting responsible practices across the supply chain. \\ Social & & SDG 4: Quality Education. Providing continuous training to employees promotes access to educational opportunities and fosters the development of skills necessary for decent work and inclusive growth. \\ \hline \end{tabular}
