The EY-Microsoft Alliance

Tech and tax come together to solve the great ESG data dilemma

Uncovering the resources to address your ESG needs

No matter your transformation goals, the great ESG data challenge will affect your journey. Maintaining a focus on sustainability informed by the best technology will help you chart the right course and add to your momentum.

The EY-Microsoft Alliance can help you navigate data challenges while implementing sustainable change within your organization and the world.

As a sustainability leader, you’re all too aware of the ESG demands placed upon your organization.

New and pending ESG regulations mean new and expanded requirements for managing compliance and technical reporting. An effective response requires not just data, but the right data. But how do you get that data, and how do you distill the information you really need from all the data that sits within your organization?

In most organizations, a lot of the right data is already there within your organization’s tax function. It’s a matter of tapping into it and applying it to the ESG demands you face. This makes it all the more important to ensure that you have the right people, systems and processes to bring it all together.

When dealing with terabytes of data, simplicity is key. That’s why it’s absolutely vital to use existing reporting processes — like tax and finance data capture — to your advantage. Taking an ecosystem approach to your existing data opens a host of possibilities. It’s a true win / win.
