ESG Tracking & Reporting

Sustainability and ESG in the Energy Industry

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) tracking and reporting have become essential considerations for clients in all industries, but impact energy companies in particular. As these companies seek to reduce their carbon footprint through ESG initiatives, they must tackle the challenges ahead while ensuring their continued, influential role in the global economy.

We help the world’s leading energy companies implement and use digital tools to gain greater visibility into their ESG metrics, improve control over their operations, and reduce costs.

Social and Regulatory Pressures Are Climbing

Energy and utilities industry consumers, regulatory bodies, and stakeholders are demanding more transparency and concerted efforts towards ESG initiatives. To meet and exceed these expectations and requirements, companies must address many challenges that currently limit their transparency and reporting of key performance indicators. What’s more, organizations are struggling to comply with regulations that have yet to be standardized.

The difficulty is compounded by uncertainty surrounding whether the current workforce will be able to support the mass quantities of data created from tracking and reporting ESG initiatives. Furthermore, disparate systems and manual processes will have to be automated, which requires technical assistance and change management.

All of this makes it essential for energy and utilities companies to have an experienced partner by their side.

Open New Opportunities With Advanced ESG Tracking and Reporting

According to a scenario analysis by MSCI ESG Research, energy and utilities companies would lose a third of their total value on average if policymakers were to immediately act on limiting global warming to 1.5˚C by midcentury. They could lose twice as much if the transition is delayed. Partner with Perficient to begin accelerating your ESG efforts and open new doors for your organization, including:
