EY and Wolters Kluwer’s Enablon, a global leader in integrated risk, operational risk and environmental, health and safety (EHS) management software, announce an ESG management and reporting solution built on the Enablon cloud software platform to help provide organizations with end-to-end management and reporting of ESG data.

Businesses are prioritizing ESG strategies in large part due to increased investor focus on nonfinancial factors. According to the EY Climate Change and Sustainability Services (CCaSS) Fifth Global Institutional Investor Survey, 72% of investors surveyed say they conduct a structured and formal review of businesses’ ESG disclosures. In today’s fractured landscape with various disclosure frameworks available, organizations are looking for resources to guide them through their ESG reporting journey.
