How can businesses ensure data accuracy in sustainability reporting?

Ensuring the accuracy of sustainability reporting has become a critical priority for businesses, particularly as regulatory frameworks such as CSRD, the GHG Protocol, and ISO 14067 demand transparent, verifiable, and audit-ready environmental data. Accurate reporting not only supports compliance but also strengthens credibility with investors, customers, and other stakeholders.

Data accuracy depends on establishing structured and consistent data collection processes across the organization. This requires companies to gather emissions and sustainability information from multiple sources — including operations, suppliers, logistics partners, and product teams — and ensure that the data is complete, standardized, and aligned with internationally recognized methodologies. However, many businesses struggle with fragmented systems, inconsistent formats, and incomplete datasets, which increase the risk of reporting errors and undermine trust.

To improve data accuracy, organizations must implement reliable verification processes, such as internal controls, traceable documentation, and third-party assurance. Leveraging technology is equally important: digital platforms can automate data collection, apply standardized calculation methods, and reduce manual errors. Automated workflows also help maintain consistency over time, especially as reporting volumes grow and regulatory expectations expand.
