Mastering sustainability reporting with ESG technologies

Today, no company can avoid the topic of sustainability. This is due not only to pressure from investors, consumers and employees, but above all to new regulatory requirements such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the EU Taxonomy and the Supply Chain Sustainability Act (LkSG). These make non-financial reporting mandatory for many organizations. Companies are faced with the complex task of implementing these and other ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) requirements accordingly. This is not just about short-term compliance with legal requirements, but also about the opportunity to equip the company with a suitable ESG IT architecture in the long term and thus gain integrated access to ESG data.

IT challenges of sustainability reporting

The diversity and complexity of ESG regulations make compliance difficult, especially for companies with international operations. Although reporting is becoming increasingly standardized, many organizations struggle to collect, process and report relevant data. In contrast to financial reporting, mature system landscapes and data structures are often lacking. Companies that do not comply with these requirements risk financial consequences such as fines, penalties and legal disputes as well as damage to their reputation and image. Against this backdrop, the demand and requirements for suitable ESG technologies are growing enormously.

Advantages of using ESG technologies

• Standardization and compliance: ESG technologies support compliance with social, environmental and governance standards as well as legal requirements. They help to standardize the reporting process and generate comparable information.
• Transparency and decision-making: They clarify decision-making on sustainability issues and contribute to improving transparency in internal company processes.
• Resource efficiency: Automation and efficiency improvements through ESG technologies help to reduce resource consumption and reduce the ecological footprint.
• Data analysis with AI: Advances in the analysis of complex data sets using AI create a sound basis for decision-making to optimize sustainability strategy and reporting. Companies gain deeper insights into sustainability-relevant patterns and trends.
