ESG Reporting Isn’t Enough Anymore
As ESG expectations evolve, so must your approach. Today’s investors, regulators, and stakeholders demand not just reporting—but action, assurance, and accountability. For companies managing large supplier networks, traditional reporting tools fall short. Gaps in supplier engagement, inconsistent data, and limited visibility into Scope 3 emissions can lead to reputational, operational, and compliance risks.
iSystain, VST’s dedicated ESG management platform, was designed with these challenges in mind. Beyond reporting, it equips sustainability and procurement teams with the digital tools needed to monitor, engage, and collaborate with suppliers—turning ESG risks into resilience strategies.
Why Supplier Engagement Matters in ESG
Your supply chain defines your footprint. Without reliable supplier data, companies risk:
- Inaccurate or incomplete Scope 3 emissions reporting
- Unverified ESG claims that erode stakeholder trust
- Non-compliance with regulations like the CSRD or ISSB
- Exposure to human rights, labor, or environmental violations
The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) increasingly emphasize value chain transparency. Meeting these expectations demands smarter tools—and smarter collaboration.
