The Crucial Role of Data in Achieving ESG Transparency in Supply Chains

by Geraldine S.
03/01/2024
in Compliance, Supply Chain Transparency

The importance of data management and collection in ensuring Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) transparency within supply chains was underscored by Levent Ergin of Informatica and Andrea Hendrickx of Infosys. Their insights come in the wake of incidents like the 2020 controversy involving British retailer Boohoo, where a significant financial loss was incurred following reports of substandard worker pay in its supply chain.

A global survey conducted by Infosys in 2023, which included over 2,500 business executives and managers, revealed a noticeable lag in the integration of ESG principles into supply chain operations among many firms. However, those who have embraced these principles recognize the invaluable role of data in navigating the ESG landscape.

Levent Ergin, serving as the Global Chief ESG Sustainability Strategist for Informatica, collaborates with leading organizations to refine their ESG strategies. Ergin, speaking to Sustainability magazine, described ESG challenges as fundamentally data-centric issues that demand data-driven solutions. He highlighted the necessity of accurate data for effective ESG reporting, critiquing the reliance on ESG ratings agencies for regulatory compliance as insufficient due to the often imprecise nature of the data used.

Ergin emphasized the growing need for organizations to manage their data collection, processing, and analysis to gain a comprehensive understanding of their ESG metrics. This detailed approach facilitates targeted decision-making processes, especially in identifying and mitigating high-carbon activities within supply chains and operational frameworks.

Furthermore, Ergin advocated for a structured ESG reporting framework that begins with a clear recognition of stakeholder expectations and a precise identification of required data. He suggested the consolidation of this data within a central ESG data warehouse for standardized processing and analysis, highlighting the role of automation in managing the volume and variety of data effectively.

Andrea Hendrickx, Country Head of Infosys Germany, echoed the sentiment on the pivotal role of data in ESG evolution. She stressed that ESG efforts must extend beyond internal operations to encompass the entire supply chain, promoting a collective move towards sustainability goals such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, ensuring humane treatment of workers, and minimizing pollution.

Hendrickx pointed out the necessity for transparent data exchange throughout the supply chain to foster alignment with ESG objectives, warning against the isolationist impact of data silos. She noted that while many businesses are eager to align their supply chains with ESG goals, the challenge lies in the effective sharing and utilization of data to select the most compatible partners.

In conclusion, both Ergin and Hendrickx highlight the critical nature of data in achieving ESG transparency and effectiveness within supply chains, urging companies to adopt comprehensive data management strategies to stay competitive and meet evolving ESG standards.
