Altruistech Environmental Compliance Gauge project is a cutting-edge initiative that leverages technology to promote environmental responsibility and advance SDG13: Climate Action. This solution addresses non-compliance with ecological safety policies among organizations and industries, contributing to climate change, pollution, and ecosystem degradation. We provide a comprehensive solution that combines hardware, software, and data analytics to promote environmental compliance. The core product is an Arduino robotic car with a user-friendly data collection, analysis, and compliance monitoring interface. This robot comprises data collection sensors, such as noise pollution monitors, MQ135 sensors, NDIR CO2 sensors, and waste management trackers, deployed within organizations to collect real-time environmental data.

Additionally, the project integrates a mobile application and beaming light technology to display compliance levels using color profiles visually. The data collected from the sensors is analyzed within our cloud system, calculating the organization's compliance level based on predefined thresholds for noise pollution, solid waste generation, air quality, and GHG emissions. The compliance level is then translated into color profiles using beaming lights. Red indicates non-compliance, blue represents average compliance, and green signifies full compliance. The visual representation of compliance levels through the beaming light creates a dynamic and easily interpretable display that facilitates instant recognition of an organization's environmental performance.

Sustainable Development Goals:

Through this project, technology catalyzes positive change, empowering organizations to take climate action, promote environmental sustainability, and advance the UN SDGs. This project also enables immediate corrective actions to reduce pollution and environmental impact. The real-time data and color-coded feedback foster accountability and incentivize organizations to align with SDG 13: Climate Action. As organizations embrace sustainable practices, they contribute to mitigating climate change, conserving ecosystems, and building climate resilience.

Altruistech Environmental Compliance Gauge contributes to SDG 8 by ensuring organizations adopt responsible and sustainable practices by promoting compliance with environmental safety policies. This, in turn, leads to improved working conditions and healthier environments for employees, contributing to decent work opportunities. Moreover, sustainable practices can lead to cost savings, increased efficiency, and innovation, fostering economic growth within organizations and industries.

Additionally, it supports SDG 12 by encouraging responsible consumption and production. The real-time monitoring of solid waste generation and management practices enables organizations to identify inefficiencies and reduce waste. The project's data-driven approach promotes responsible production, reducing resource consumption and enhancing waste management, thus contributing to sustainable and responsible practices.

Furthermore, the project also contributes to SDG 15 by promoting life on land and protecting ecosystems. The continuous monitoring of noise pollution and air quality helps identify harmful impacts on local ecosystems and wildlife habitats. By complying with noise pollution limits and reducing harmful emissions, organizations contribute to preserving biodiversity and fostering healthier ecosystems. This enhances terrestrial habitats' overall health and sustainability, in line with SDG 15's objectives.

Moreover, the project supports SDG 13 by promoting climate action and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This project encourages organizations to adopt sustainable practices and lower their carbon footprint by continuously monitoring and displaying real-time data on GHG emissions. Through visual feedback and data-driven decision-making, organizations are motivated to take climate action and contribute to global efforts in mitigating climate change.
