ESG Reporting and Technology
Organizations have reached tipping point when it comes to accountability on environmental, social and governance (ESG) topics. No longer just “nice to have”, ESG has become a business-critical issue. Alongside evolving investor, employee and customer expectations, businesses face growing pressure from policymakers to not only embrace sustainable business practices but communicate transparently and consistently on their impact, commitments and progress.
What EY can do for you
There’s a lot to consider in building a leading class environmental reporting solution: information and data, people and organization, simplified processes, technology and governance. It’s also tempting to think that a solution alone will solve all problems. In fact, real change is the result of strong ownership and governance, robust data reporting processes, and good documentation. Put simply: you have to build the foundations of a successful technology solution.
Together, we can turn stakeholder pressure into an opportunity to enhance trust.
