FAQ's about Sustainability Information Management

These standards provide companies with guidelines and indicators for comprehensive and transparent reporting on their sustainability performance. Depending on company size, industry and regional requirements, companies may use one or more of these standards.

What are challenges in sustainability data analysis?

The analysis of sustainability data presents companies with a number of challenges. These include the availability and quality of data, the complexity and diversity of data, the integration and standardization of data, the use of appropriate analysis techniques and tools, and the interpretation and communication of results. Companies need to develop strategic approaches to overcome these challenges and gain sound insights from sustainability data.

GLOSUS supports you in the mentioned points and minimizes the implementation effort of different, mutually incompatible solutions by integrating all requirements in one single platform.

Is the use of different data management systems recommended?

The use of different data management systems for sustainability data has some disadvantages. It leads to fragmentation of data, inefficient data management, difficulties in integrating and comparing data, and lack of transparency and control.
