Traceable value chains
Demands for sustainability reports to become more transparent will increase more and more in the coming years. This, in turn, means that the need for data is increasing for companies to enable traceability in the value chain. And traceability will be crucial for achieving both internal efficiency targets and compliance.
Regardless of the size of the company, ESG reporting is inevitable if you want to future-proof your business, as ESG is about sustainability. However, it can vary from company to company which areas are relevant to include in their ESG efforts, as long as it relates to the United Nations’ global goals for sustainable development.
