The foundations of ESG reporting are built on data, yet simply learning the'lay of the land' is no longer enough – organisations must be able to identify and assemble enterprise data across their entire supply chain, in all operations and jurisdictions. Compounding the issue are complex corporate structures. Legally relevant data is often siloed; whether that be across various cloud storage environments, different computers due to Bring Your Own Device and remote working, or even in the minds of employees following personnel changes. The scale of this challenge is obvious, but with next-generation technology like AI at organisations' disposal, difficulty is no longer an excuse. With ESG set to remain a major compliance responsibility in the coming years, organisations must turn to AI technology as a solution.
