Attention to ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) criteria is no longer optional—it has become a strategic imperative for modern businesses. Climate change and growing public awareness are pushing organizations to be more transparent about their environmental and social performance.
At the same time, investors and talent are actively seeking companies that embed sustainability into their business models and core values. In this evolving landscape, adopting well-defined ESG policies translates into tangible benefits—from enhanced reputation and talent attraction to proactive risk management and improved operational efficiency.

ESG numbers: steady accelerated growth

The growing attention to ESG is confirmed by data from the “Global Sustainable Investment Review” 2023 by GSIA:

• In 2022, sustainable investments worldwide reached $30.3 trillion.
• In markets such as Europe, Canada, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand, there was a 20% growth between 2020 and 2022, reaching $21.9 trillion.
• In Europe alone, sustainable investments increased from $12 trillion to $14 trillion in the same period.

These figures highlight how ESG is becoming central in global financial strategies, a priority for CFOs and Financial Directors.

Digital Transformation and Sustainability: A Winning Combination

Digital transformation is a critical accelerator for embedding sustainability into a company’s DNA. Digital technologies not only enable monitoring and optimization of ESG parameters but also reveal valuable correlations between sustainable practices and concrete business outcomes.

The ability to analyze complex data in real time becomes essential for measuring and evaluating the impact of sustainability-oriented projects and actions. But tracking the value generated by ESG initiatives—and demonstrating their relevance—requires clear objectives and continuous measurement of progress. This goes beyond traditional reporting tools, which lack the automation and intelligence offered by AI-powered solutions.

In this context, the Finance team needs to quickly obtain insights useful for creating strategic value by selecting the most suitable solution for ESG planning and reporting.

EPM: The Integrated Solution for Managing ESG Performance

Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) solutions offer a comprehensive approach to integrate financial and non-financial data, ensuring transparency toward stakeholders and regulatory authorities. But EPM goes beyond simple reporting, allowing the planning and management of present and future ESG strategies.

An EPM system allows analysis, understanding, and reporting on company activities. It involves planning, budgeting, forecasting, and performance reporting processes, as well as consolidation and financial closing. Although primarily used by the Finance function, EPM also supports other corporate areas such as HR, Sales, Marketing, and IT in operational planning and reporting activities.
