How to structure a high-performance sustainability IS to meet the challenges of CSRD?
At Produrable 2024, kShuttle led a workshop on the theme of sustainability information systems (IS), a key component in meeting the growing requirements of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). Mena Dogan and Daniel Baral share some of their key insights.
An unprecedented regulatory context: the CSRD
- Collect and structure data from multiple departments and subsidiaries.
- Ensure traceability and data quality to meet audit requirements.
- Integrate their value chain into the calculation of indicators, in particular Scope 3 for the carbon footprint.
The challenges of sustainability IS
1. Increased volume and complexity
2. The link between finance and sustainability
3. Dual materiality
- The company’s environmental, social and economic impacts.
- The risks and opportunities that these dimensions represent for its business.
Sustainability Information Systems and Reporting: Meeting the CSRD Challenges
A demanding framework to structure ESG data
In light of the requirements imposed by the CSRD, companies must transform their processes to integrate reliable data, perform accurate analyses, and effectively manage their sustainability initiatives.
These transformations demand a systemic approach aligned with both regulatory and strategic needs.
ESPM: An integrated vision for sustainability
To address these challenges, the concept of Enterprise Sustainability Performance Management (ESPM) has become essential. ESPM provides a unified approach that enables:
- Centralisation of ESG and financial data: Seamlessly integrating indicators to ensure their reliability and alignment.
- Simulation and strategic analysis tools: Developing multi-year trajectories and identifying actionable levers.
- Structured performance management: Leveraging advanced, interconnected technologies, ESPM offers a comprehensive view of ESG performance and its impact.
ESPM goes beyond reporting. It turns regulatory obligations into strategic levers, as demonstrated by our experts during the Produrable 2024 workshop.
