EY SusTrack - Sustainability Data Management Tool

Besides regulatory compliance, there are compelling reasons for organizations to adopt leading practices in sustainability data management. For instance, environmental liabilities can be costly and there is also a potential risk of having a negative impact on the organization’s reputation. Achieving high sustainability performance and providing profitable returns to stakeholders involves several challenges. These include:

• Pressure to reduce costs
• Non-availability of adequate systems or tools
• Consistency and reliability of data

EY has developed a sustainability data management tool to address these challenges. The tool helps integrate and improve business units’ non-financial performance for companies with varied maturity levels (amateur to advanced).

The solution leverages Robotic Process Automation (RPA) technology to avoid any manual intervention. It seamlessly interacts with various ERP systems as well as reads/scans PDFs, images, Excel workbooks, etc. It also generates interactive dashboards customized to different users, thereby allowing them to track their performances and report non-financial data.

The tool leverages various global reporting frameworks and databases viz. Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), etc. to be able to assess progress against various leading and lagging indicators.
