Description

Sustainability reporting requirements have spawned a complex ecosystem of data gathering, measuring, and analysis. But this has trapped many organizations in a cycle where gathering sustainability data is an end unto itself. In this episode, Craig Moss (Executive Vice President, Measurement at Ethisphere, and Director at the Digital Supply Chain Institute) explains how companies can make better use of that sustainability data to drive the overall performance of the business.

• 2:20: By excessively focusing on reporting, companies actually create risk because they are constantly using their data to look backward into the past instead of drawing on past data to inform future improvement
• 4:14: How companies should begin the conversation internally to expand their own data reporting to performance measurement and improvement instead of focusing mainly on regulatory compliance
• 8:46: How AI adoption, especially around supply chain, can help change the gathering of reporting data from a compliance-driven effort to a performance-driving one
