NetSuite for Sustainability : Tracking ESG Metrics

Sustainability is now a business must-have, with stakeholders demanding clear environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance. NetSuite’s cloud-based ERP simplifies ESG tracking, helping you report transparently and meet global standards. Let’s explore how NetSuite drives your sustainability goals.

Why ESG Matters ?

ESG metrics measure your environmental impact, social responsibility, and governance practices. Prioritizing ESG helps you:

  • Meet regulations like the EU’s CSRD.
  • Attract investors who value sustainability.
  • Build trust with ethical consumers.
  • Cut costs by optimizing resources.

NetSuite’s unified platform makes collecting and analyzing ESG data straightforward, even for global businesses.
