IBM is collaborating with the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) to help support NYSE-listed companies with their environmental, social and governance (ESG) efforts. The effort involves limited-time software discounts for IBM Envizi ESG Suite.
The software, the company says, allows customers to:
- Automate the collection and consolidation of ESG data and the calculation of GHG emissions;
- streamline ESG reporting to support compliance and reporting requirements; and
- leverage data insights and integrations with operational systems to help drive sustainability performance across the organization.
The software suite will be listed on the NYSE's ESG Resource Center for NYSE-listed companies and included in planned thought-leadership events, podcasts, webinars and more.
In a prepared statement about the relationship, Christina Shim (pictured above) VP, global head of product management & strategy, IBM Sustainability Software, said: "We are seeing that sustainability efforts can be increasingly important in attracting investment capital and even top talent. This new initiative helps NYSE-listed companies access IBM sustainability software that can help automate the collection, analysis, and reporting of ESG data. This lets business leaders focus on taking strategic steps toward their goals, instead of spending valuable time simply trying to uncover this data."
