90% of S&P 500 index companies published sustainability reports in 2019 up from 20% in 2011.
-
Governments and industries increasingly mandate ESG.

What does ESG mean?
Environmental, Social, and [corporate] Governance refers to the three central factors in measuring the sustainability and societal impact of investment in a company or business. These criteria help to better decide the future financial performance of companies and are considered essential data by the investment community.
Why does ESG matter?
ESG matters because it gives investors more information to build portfolios aligned with their values, and also helps push for change. In this paradigm, companies are held more accountable for their actions and challenged to improve. There is growing evidence that companies managing their ESG issues well achieve better financial outcomes.
Why is ESG reporting challenging?
Most companies do not have a centralized ability to collect, analyze and report ESG data. Further, the sheer volume of data can take many forms and requires collection from countless internal and external data points. The type and breadth of data needed and requested is constantly in flux. A company’s operations and supply chain – and also external data points, such as press coverage, consumer behavior, and product recalls – can have an impact. The faster you can analyze the data, the faster your company can course-correct. Analyzing data coming from social media, news, IOT devices at factories, etc. quickly becomes a significant problem. It requires near-constant analysis to ensure there is no drift in ESG performance or consumer perception on ESG performance.
What if I already have ESG software?
We can work with that! ESG reporting software enables investors to customize questionnaires and data collection to ensure they are collecting the right data. After collection, your software should enable you to aggregate consistent, comparable and accurate ESG performance data from across your operations. We recognize that our customers are already using legacy software based on careful selection and implementation. Whatever ERP and databases you currently run, we will assess your overall data landscape and suggest solutions and integrations to address functional gaps.
