IFS Partners With Carbon Intelligence Platform Climatiq
The collaboration between IFS and åpbrings together industrial AI and expert carbon intelligence to transform how companies manage sustainability, at a time when it's never been more important. The partnership allows asset intensive industries to actively manage their carbon footprint, and how to reduce it all while maintaining strong operating and efficiency standards. IFS Cloud now integrates Climatiq's carbon calculation engine and extensive database of scientifically-vetted emission factors, enabling automatic carbon calculations from within core business systems. Emission Management leverages the existing asset hierarchy in IFS Cloud to quickly and accurately build your emissions sources while ensuring consistency and fast setup.
The newly launched Emissions Management module empowers organizations to automate emissions calculation and embed sustainability into daily operations. With prebuilt templates, standard methodologies, and available directing in IFS Cloud, the application helps businesses achieve accurate carbon insights at scale.
To support this initiative, IFS and Climatiq have co-authored a new white paper . The paper outlines how IFS' embedded sustainability capabilities can transform business activity data into actionable emissions insights. In turn, companies can streamline their reporting processes to meet global standards such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting directive (CSRD) and allow for smarter, greener decision-making.
'Sustainability regulations are under constant change and review, and our customers are under increasing pressure to meet these evolving obligations while continuing to adapt,' said Caitlin Keam, VP of Sustainability Applications at IFS. 'By integrating Climatiq's verified emissions factor database into Emissions Management in IFS Cloud, we enable organizations to embed sustainability into day-to-day operations, allowing them to adapt quickly, gain clear insights, and make better decisions directly within their core system.'
'This partnership brings together IFS's deep industry expertise and Climatiq's carbon intelligence to put climate impact at the heart of business decision-making,' said Hessam Lavi, CEO and co-founder at Climatiq. 'By embedding emissions data directly into enterprise workflows and releasing a joint white paper that outlines the path forward for scope 3 reporting, we are helping customers power the green transition through practical, data-driven solutions and collaborative research.'
IFS's commitment to sustainability has been further strengthened by its recent investment from Generation Investment Management, the pioneering sustainable investment firm. This backing serves as a powerful endorsement of IFS's long-term commitment to sustainability. The collaboration with Climatiq exemplifies how IFS is actively driving innovation toward a greener future, aligning its strategy with the values of one of the world's most respected sustainability-focused investors.

Dow set to open at record high on rate-cut hopes, UnitedHealth gains
The blue-chip Dow was on track to open at a record high on Friday, underpinned by expectations of an interest rate cut in September and gains in UnitedHealth's shares after Berkshire Hathaway raised its stake in the health insurer. Futures tracking the tech-heavy Nasdaq were slightly off as chip stocks weakened after Applied Materials warned of weak China demand. UnitedHealth Group jumped 11.5% in premarket trading after Warren Buffett's company revealed a new investment in the health insurer, while a securities filing showed Michael Burry's Scion Asset Management included bullish positions in the company. Rising costs in the broader healthcare sector and an about 46% slump in heavyweight UnitedHealth's shares this year have left the Dow lagging its Wall Street peers on the road to record highs. The price-weighted index last scaled an all-time high on December 4. This week, however, the healthcare sector is the top performer on the benchmark S&P 500 and is on track for its best weekly performance in three. Other insurers also gained, with Elevance up 4.2%, Centene rising 2.9% and Molina adding 3.7% before the bell on Friday. More broadly, the main U.S. stock indexes are on track for their second week of gains, buoyed by expectations that the Fed could restart its monetary policy easing cycle with a 25-basis-point interest rate cut in September. The central bank last lowered borrowing costs in December and said U.S. tariffs could add to price pressures. However, recent labor market weakness and signs that tariff-induced inflation was yet to reflect in headline consumer prices have made investors confident of a potential dovish move next month. "A 25bps rate cut is still almost fully priced in although it has put a dampener on tentative expectations that the Fed could deliver an even larger 50bps rate cut like last September," analysts at MUFG said in a note. "Market participants are still confident that the Fed will resume rate cuts in response to weakness in the labor market and the lack of pass through so far to consumer prices from higher tariffs as evident in this week's CPI report." At 07:16 a.m. ET, Dow E-minis were up 303 points, or 0.67%, S&P 500 E-minis were up 9.25 points, or 0.14%, and Nasdaq 100 E-minis were down 19.25 points, or 0.08%. Focus will now be on July retail sales data, due later in the day, and the University of Michigan's report on consumer confidence, for clues on the health of the American consumer. Among other stocks, Applied Materials tumbled 14.1% after the chip equipment maker issued weak fourth-quarter forecasts on sluggish China demand, fueling concerns over tariff-related risks. Shares of other chip equipment makers such as KLA and Lam Research lost 5.8% and 5%, respectively. Intel rose 2.7% on the heels of a 20% gain this week after a report said the Trump administration was in talks with the struggling chipmaker for the U.S. government to potentially take a stake in the company. On the commodities front, crude prices slipped to around $65 a barrel with attention on a meeting in Alaska between U.S. President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, that markets hope could pave the way for a resolution to the Ukraine conflict. The meeting will take place at 1900 GMT. (Reporting by Johann M Cherian and Sanchayaita Roy in Bengaluru; Editing by Devika Syamnath)
