Abstract Description: As ESG data requirements grow in complexity and volume, organizations are increasingly turning to software tools to streamline compliance, drive performance, and enable strategic decision-making. However, navigating the ESG software landscape can be overwhelming without a structured approach. This presentation outlines a practical framework for selecting and implementing the right ESG software—one that aligns with organizational goals, meets stakeholder needs, and adapts to evolving disclosure standards. Real-world examples and lessons learned illustrate how to reduce risk, avoid common pitfalls, and deliver lasting value.
