The ESG Data Tsunami

From Compliance to Competitive Advantage

About this survey

The ESG Data Tsunami

Start: 12/2025
Publication: June 2026
Region: Global Research
Authors:Chris Gerber,  Stefan Sexl 

The corporate world is currently facing a tidal wave of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) data. Driven by updated regulations like the CSRD due to the Omnibus initiative, companies are still required to collect, manage and report a vast amount of non-financial information. While many organizations view this as a compliance exercise, forward-thinking leaders are recognizing the strategic potential hidden within this data. This survey will explore how companies are moving beyond simple compliance to leverage ESG data for business benefits. It will delve into the strategies, tools and processes that enable organizations to not only meet regulatory requirements but also to uncover new opportunities, mitigate risks and ultimately gain a competitive edge. The target audience for this survey – CFOs, sustainability officers and other key decision-makers – are actively seeking guidance on how to navigate the corporate sustainability software landscape. They are eager to understand best practices, benchmark their own efforts and learn from the successes of their peers. This survey will provide them with the actionable insights they need to turn the ESG data challenge into a strategic advantage.

Core questions:

  • What are the biggest challenges organizations face in managing and reporting ESG data? 
  • How are leading companies integrating ESG reporting into their core business strategy and decision-making processes? 
  • What are the most effective technologies and tools for collecting, analyzing and reporting ESG data & sustainability initiatives? 
  • How is the Office of the CFO evolving to encompass ESG and sustainability? What role do sustainability departments play?
