Across the EU and the UK, key ESG reporting regulations such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSDR) - now cover more than 75% of European companies' turnover. Regulations - and their associated reporting frameworks - are evolving faster than ever, heralding non-financial data as key business intelligence. Now, companies must catch up with their data and regulatory frameworks. No wonder 90% of fortune 500 companies have ESG reporting in place, yet only 1/10 accurately and transparently report on their progress.
We are proud to unveil our new ESG Manager - an integrated product to automate, streamline and simplify all Environmental, Social and Governance reporting processes. The ESG Manager allows businesses to gather ESG data from their teams, business units or portfolio and seamlessly produce compliant and accurate reports.
