Environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) is now on the agendas of the most senior stakeholders within businesses around the globe.

Evolving and increasing legislation around reporting is forcing businesses to pivot on a number of initiatives and not all businesses are prepared.

AspenTech DataWorks recently commissioned Vanson-Bourne to ask IT/OT professionals how they were leveraging their industrial data and operational data for their ESG reporting to track progress against their sustainability goals.

The results are in this report which explains how respondents from organizations operating within Europe differ from their North American counterparts. The research also reveals that investments in both people and the technology providing industrial/operational data for ESG reporting will help to overcome the barriers surrounding skills and data quality.
