“We’ve always felt that ESG needs to be addressed as a whole. Carbon emissions, water consumption, supply chain impacts — it’s all part of the same big picture. We make it easy for customers to see that big picture, all at once, in real time, with perfect fidelity, then to share it interactively with stakeholders. That’s where the real impact lies: supporting the people making decisions that drive ESG and sustainability performance.”
