Overview of sustainability management software
Good sustainability management software helps you keep track of ESG in a broad sense. From emissions and waste to diversity and corruption prevention.
Additionally, the correct tool should allow you to link to external standards as well as support internal reporting.
Lastly it should benefit your communication with all stakeholders, for instance your suppliers, but also your customers.
Software landscape
The landscape for Sustainability Management / ESG reporting software is fairly crowded. In some of the last industry benchmarks there were 22 participants, and at least another 20 that were mentioned but did not qualify. Besides being crowded, the software realm is also very volatile, resulting in a very high number of transactions between various software companies.
So which tools are best equipped to fulfill all these tasks? Below we give you an overview of some industry leading tools and some interesting innovators.
