The State of ESG & sustainability reporting 2024
ESG reporting is often a highly disruptive process, and the typical motivation for undertaking it is not solely driven by legal requirements. It has become an essential tool for companies aiming to maintain a positive image among their customers, employees, and business partners.
Today, various organizational and technical approaches to ESG reporting implementation compete within companies, resulting in diverse experiences, challenges, and outcomes.
BARC’s study examines these developments and compares customer experiences across different geographic regions, organizational structures, and technical implementations. This enables the extraction of specific guidance and recommendations.
Building upon the study conducted in the previous year, the current state of a nascent software market will also be analyzed, providing an in-depth look at its current stage of evolution
Key questions:
- What is the state of implementation and which department is driving the spearheading the effort?
- How resource-intensive is the process of implementing ESG reporting, and what difficulties do end users encounter?
- What software is utilized for ESG and sustainability reporting, encompassing data collection to result disclosure, and how do leading companies employ it?
- What architecture do users favor for the implementation, and how does it align with the broader landscape?
