ESG reporting is here to stay. Is your organization ready?
Strong ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) performance is crucial for demonstrating corporate transparency, attracting investors and supporting long-term sustainability. With the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) regulation now mandatory in the European Union and new ESG demand drivers evolving globally, both challenges and growth opportunities also continue to evolve, making ESG excellence a strategic imperative for any forward-thinking organization.
Facing the challenge
To stay ahead of the curve, organizations must meet the growing demands for data collection, management, analysis, reporting and disclosure. But how? A recent survey by PriceWaterhouseCoopers revealed 74% of companies still rely on spreadsheets and manual time-consuming processes for sustainability reporting, surpassing other methods.
Spreadsheets, by their own design, lack the capacity to manage the complexity and volume of data required by CSRD and other regulations, and don’t offer the functionality necessary for the integration and verification of reported information. Investing in advanced ESG technology solutions is crucial for more accurate, efficient and compliant reporting.
