The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In financial services, sustainability managers and ESG analysts often spend 1.8 hours each week updating project plans and reports. Manually transferring data from Microsoft Excel, formatting Word documents to meet GRI or SASB standards, and tracking changes across SharePoint or Google Drive is slow and error-prone. The repetitive nature of these tasks leads to frustration and delays, especially when deadlines for board or client reporting approach.
