There are some key internal and external stakeholders which should be considered when implementing ESG software (note, stakeholders will vary depending on the structure of your organization and the software that you select). Key internal stakeholders may include your IT team, your sustainability and/ or environmental team, procurement, risk management, corporate social responsibility, and the project will likely have a champion or sponsor in your organization who owns the process and helps see it through from start to finish. From an external resource perspective, engaging IT implementation consultants specializing in sustainability initiatives can lead to a smoother journey, avoiding problems due to a lack of expertise with data set handling and emission algorithms. If you don’t have in-house sustainability expertise, a firm like CarbonBetter can help you navigate setting up your calculations according to the appropriate protocols for your operations and reporting requirements. The project manager and/or implementation resources from your software vendor will also be a key resource.
