  • Lack of awareness of products and strategies: Limited awareness regarding sustainable products and strategies, impeding effective implementation
  • Lack of robust data, consistency, and quality: Insufficiently robust, consistent, and high-quality sustainability data hampering informed decision-making.
  • Lack of transparency and traceability leading to greenwashing: Lack of transparency and traceability exposes organizations to the risk of inadvertently promoting misleading green credentials
  • Complexity in reporting, inconsistent ratings, and lack of standardization: Dealing with the intricacies of reporting, inconsistent ratings, and a lack of standardization, posing hurdles in demonstrating sustainable practices accurately
  • Lack of digitization and analytic tools for ESG reporting and tracking: Inadequate digitization and analytic tools for comprehensive ESG reporting and tracking, limiting the efficiency of monitoring and improvement initiatives

It is crucial for organizations to overcome these obstacles, authentically embrace sustainability, and contribute meaningfully to a more environmentally conscious future.
