Sustainability reporting made easy
Sustainability reporting is no longer a nice-to-have. Companies that evaluate, track, and optimize their footprint have a leg up as investors and consumers vote with their wallet and look to long-term value creation over short-term gains in an evolving global regulatory landscape.
Sustainability management is bourgeoning area, and not without challenges—like figuring out which issues are most important to your stakeholders, understanding the metrics and data that matter, and underpinning consistency as you navigate different reporting frameworks and guidelines across regions.
Workiva’s Sustainability solutions can help—acting as a central hub for your sustainability data, integrating with your source system API connectors (ERP, EHS, and carbon accounting platforms), and creating a clear audit trail with approval workflows.
Sound familiar?
- Your data is housed in multiple sources, and it’s not easy to collect. (You might even have back and forth email chains requesting data from different department and SMEs!)
- It’s complicated to review, edit, and approve key information prior to publishing and disclosing externally.
- You’re struggling to keep track of multiple standards and framework alignments as well as raters and rankers’ surveys. (CDP, CSA, etc.)
- You lack the capacity to stay forward-looking — and can’t prepare for upcoming regulatory requirements around sustainability.

Food for thought
We find that leading organizations stand out by considering the following in their approach to Sustainability strategy:
- Setting clear objectives: We’re talking SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound) goals that harmonize values and long-term strategy. Think of it as a roadmap for improvement that demonstrates your commitment to responsible practices.
- Integrating risk management: Sustainability planning should fold into your risk management processes to identify, assess, and mitigate potential risks associated with Environmental, Social, and Governance factors.
- Striving for transparency: Foster trust among stakeholders by regularly disclosing comprehensive Sustainability information—that way, you can benchmark, clearly showcase your progress, and be assurance ready.
