        <problem_statement>Many organizations run green initiatives such as energy conservation, waste reduction, or recycling programs. However, these efforts are often tracked informally through spreadsheets or emails, making it hard to:&#13;
&#13;
-Assign clear responsibilities for each sustainability action&#13;
-Monitor progress and deadlines in real time&#13;
-Measure and report the actual environmental impact&#13;
-Keep different departments engaged and accountable&#13;
-Without a structured platform, sustainability goals can become vague, delayed, or forgotten.</problem_statement>
