How Charles is building a better working world
ESG performance is increasingly linked to broader business success. Investors and stakeholders need companies to focus on ESG, to support long-term profitable growth. Organizations that can elevate ESG reporting can lift sustainability performance too, and win over investors, customers, regulators and partners.
“I’m determined to help clients overcome the challenges that see them spending too much time trying to get ESG reporting right, rather than actually driving sustainability. I believe our Managed Services approach is the best way to help overcome many of the obstacles currently standing in the way of reliable, trusted ESG reporting, including a lack of the right talent, technology and difficulty keeping up with evolving regulation. More importantly, our connected broad approach, underpinned by IBM’s Envizi platform, moves ESG reporting far beyond compliance. We’re committed to continually uncovering more opportunities to accelerate sustainable transformation and add more value to clients and society.”
