ESG Data Management: 8-week assessment

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) considerations are becoming increasingly important in companies’ decision-making and managing ESG data has never been more relevant than today. As companies leverage Microsoft Azure services and tools to elevate their ESG and sustainability reporting, addressing any underlying data challenges becomes even more important. This offer acts as an accelerator for developing needed data management capabilities to ensure success in your sustainability reporting and development initiatives.

We can help you assess your ESG data management capabilities and identify potential weaknesses and needed improvements. Our assessment gathers and documents the situational overview of how sustainability data is gathered, handled, and governed within the organization. The assessment scope varies based on the customer needs and preferred focus areas within ESG topics.

The assessment is especially suitable for those who have burning legal or regulatory pressures to extend their sustainability reporting or have a large development initiative which requires profound understanding of the challenges and focus areas. The typical timeline for the assessment is 6-8 weeks and it is conducted primarily via interviews and workshops.

The pricing of this service is dependent on the scope of the assessment (e.g., number of interviews/workshops). Terms, conditions, duration, and pricing are custom to each engagement.
