One of the great challenges for business leaders is knowing how to measure the environmental, social and governance (ESG) data in their value chains.<\/p>\n

They all understand what their bottom-line costs are but they\u2019re a bit unsure about how to manage the green line that will help them attain their ESG goals. There is a real gap between ambition and action because senior executives are still figuring out how to tangibly deliver on these ESG goals. More pertinently, they are facing the challenge that sustainability is fundamentally a resource management problem.<\/p>\n
