LinkedInEvery year, World Environment Day on 5th June reminds us that protecting our planet is not just a responsibility, it’s a necessity. We are reflecting on how technology, and in particular the Internet of Things (IoT), is helping us drive real change toward a more sustainable future.
IoT technology is a game-changer when it comes to environmental conservation. By gathering real-time data and turning it into actionable insights, IoT solutions empower smarter decisions, reduce waste, and protect vital ecosystems. Here’s how:
Here are just a few ways we’re proud to be using IoT technology to support sustainability around the globe:
Bringing Clean Water to African Communities with Innovation: Africa
Access to clean water changes everything, and thanks to IoT, maintaining that access is easier than ever. Through our partnership with Innovation: Africa, Eseye powers solar water pumps across remote African villages. Our IoT technology monitors pump performance around the clock, ensuring that any issues are flagged and fixed quickly. The result? Thousands of people gain reliable access to safe, clean water sustainably.

In the realm of smart connected buildings, Eseye has collaborated with the Lindstrom Group and Tieto EVRY to transform washroom operations and boost workplace productivity. By implementing IoT solutions, these companies have been able to streamline operations, enhance safety, and significantly reduce resource wastage. The connectivity provided by Eseye’s AnyNet eSIM, SMARTconnect software, and Hera IoT edge hardware ensures that these buildings remain efficiently connected and environmentally sustainable.
A great example is our work with Biotecture. Through the integration of IoT sensors in their “living walls,” we help monitor and optimize environmental conditions like humidity and soil moisture. This ensures efficient irrigation, reduces water waste, and supports healthier urban ecosystems. With real-time insights, Biotecture’s green installations become smarter, more sustainable, and more impactful.
The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) is critical to reducing carbon emissions. Eseye has helped Shell build and manage its Shell Recharge network – a vast grid with thousands of EV charging stations. With our reliable global IoT connectivity, each station is monitored in real time for efficiency, uptime, and usage insights, ensuring that cleaner travel becomes a reality.

Eseye is revolutionizing environmental monitoring with IoT technology. By deploying connected sensors, businesses can now track air quality, water safety, soil health, and energy usage in real-time. This data enables better decision-making, improved regulatory compliance, and enhances overall quality of life.
Modern farming can be both productive and planet friendly. Working with Precision Animal Solutions, Eseye’s IoT technology monitors livestock health and behaviour, allowing farmers to detect early signs of illness. Healthier animals mean less antibiotic use, more sustainable farming practices, and a smaller environmental footprint – proving that tech and tradition can work together.

Millions of people in rural Africa live without reliable access to electricity. M-KOPA set out to change that, but needed a way to manage and monitor solar home systems in remote, off-grid areas. By combining M-KOPA’s pay-as-you-go solar model with our resilient IoT connectivity, together we have enabled over one million solar units that provide clean, affordable energy for households across the continent. More than 2 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions have been avoided so far.
Across the world, IoT is driving incredible initiatives beyond our own projects, including:
The beauty of IoT lies in its versatility from forests to farmlands, oceans to city streets, it’s enabling a smarter, greener future everywhere.
World Environment Day isn’t just a moment to celebrate. It’s a reminder that the work of protecting our planet is ongoing. At Eseye, we’re committed to leveraging IoT to tackle the world’s toughest environmental challenges. Whether it’s saving endangered species, conserving precious resources, or supporting cleaner energy, we believe technology can and must be part of the solution.
