Despite being the talk of the town and a tsunami of new ESG legislation, this recent Forbes article gave a sobering reality check about the current state of Sustainability.After interviewing 29 leading Chief Sustainability Officers, Harvard Business Review found that many companies are still struggling to make Sustainability more than just marketing and investor relations campaigns and drive true impact in their supply chains.While nearly all companies said that Sustainability was important to their commercial success, only 37% could see that Sustainability was integrated into the core of their businesses.And even though Europe is pioneering the shift towards Sustainability with new ESG regulations, the study found minimal differences in ESG practices between European and American companies. Which begs the question about how many European companies will have the resources and capability to comply with new legislation like CSDR and CSDDD.To explain this gap between intentions and execution, one of the key culprits is a lack of high quality data on sustainability performance – which only 29% of companies believe that they have.This is why adopting state-of-the-art Supplier Relationship Management solutions like Kodiak Hub has become essential for Procurement teams. By streamlining and automating the collection of your supplier data, compliance information, and sustainability performance metrics, companies can not only ensure that they are complying with new ESG regulation but also move the needle on things that really matters - like bringing more sustainable product to their customers, improving supplier and process performance, and drive innovation to deliver real results aligned with company strategic goals.If these sustainability struggles sound familiar to your organization, it’s time to discover how innovative SRM solutions like Kodiak Hub can supercharge your Sustainability Journey - from reports to results.https://lnkd.in/dUHtNMzU
