Trust and value creation—use sustainability data to support complex decision-making
Sustainability reporting services
Sustainability risks and opportunities touch every industry, affecting both your business and the world. How you measure, discuss, and decide on these factors—aligned with your strategy and operations—can protect value, drive growth, and boost resilience.
At PwC, we take a collaborative approach to sustainability reporting. Working alongside you to embed sustainability across your existing reporting and management systems. We integrate technology that enables not only regulatory compliance but more informed decision-making—helping you turn complex data into insight and action.
Unlocking value
Manage and measure performance
Organisations today encounter a wide range of environmental and social challenges that affect every aspect of their operations. Integrating sustainability across a wide range of business activities—procurement, operations, workforce, and beyond—requires a holistic approach. Reporting that leverages the right metrics and indicators can deliver actionable business insights, empowering more informed decisions that drive efficiency, profitability, and long-term resilience.
Unlock data insights
Organisations need dependable reporting systems to manage granular data at entity, regional, product, and portfolio levels—across the business and the value chain. As you seek greater value from your data and reporting, new challenges emerge. Challenges that involve increasing the volume and granularity of data you collect, integrating data across different parts of the business, overlaying data to model different scenarios, and building forecasting and predictive capabilities.
Meeting regulatory standards and deriving actionable business insights from data and reporting requires the integration and augmentation of existing finance and reporting systems. AI-enabled technology enhances these capabilities by analysing large and complex datasets at speed—and unlocking deeper insights that improve efficiency and drive greater value through action-oriented data use.
Identify growth opportunities
Adapting to sustainability-related risks and opportunities is essential for value creation. We work with you to mitigate risk and manage disruption by building resilience into your processes—with metrics that give insight into how sustainability factors affect business outcomes.
Guided by our dedicated and skilled professionals, we combine your data overlays with strategies focused on both preserving and creating business value—empowering you to identify opportunities for adaptation and growth. As AI reshapes reporting processes, organisations can accelerate analysis, free capacity, and focus more time on strategic decisions that drive growth and performance.
Use insights to make the big calls around capital investment, new markets, product portfolios, and enterprise strategy—so you can shape enterprise value and your cost of capital.
Build trust
Transparent, relevant, and reliable reporting builds trust. It starts with a clear understanding of the regulations that apply to your organisation and industry and gathering the information stakeholders need. Strong systems, governance, processes, and controls help establish that compliance and disclosure obligations are met with efficiency, transparency, and reliability. By raising transparency of how your organisation’s actions lead to outcomes—and its progress on pledges—you can build trust with your stakeholders and create more value over time.

Establish credibility
Build trust with coherent corporate reporting
Many organisations around the world have begun reporting under the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), while countries globally are adopting the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) reporting standards. But it’s not just responding to regulators that matters. Investors, consumers, and employees are all expecting more transparent, connected corporate reporting with reliable, high-quality sustainability data integral to decision-making.
According to PwC’s 2025 Global Sustainability Reporting Survey, more than half of surveyed companies have reported increased internal and external pressure over the past year to provide sustainability data and insights. Investors are confirming this pressure: PwC’s 2025 Investor Survey shows that 84% of investors, globally, believe that companies should maintain their investment in climate adaptation or increase it—signaling strong expectations for transparent, decision-useful reporting on climate risks and responses. This is driving organisations to invest more resources and senior leadership attention into enhancing their sustainability reporting capabilities.
With our deep understanding of the current landscape and a keen eye on your future, we support you in preparing for what’s next.
Derive actionable insights
Derive actionable insights for business value creation and resilience
We help you focus on what matters most to your business and its future. From start to finish, we support your reporting journey, keeping you ahead of changing regulations and markets. Using AI-powered technology, we unlock insights, integrate sustainability data, and turn your information into clear, actionable value.
Organisations that have already reported under CSRD or ISSB are experiencing a clear shift—from simply meeting compliance requirements to leveraging the data collected for deeper insights and business value. PwC’s 2025 Global Sustainability Reporting Survey shows that almost 70% gained significant or moderate benefits from the data collected. Investors are increasingly expecting organisations to use sustainability data to manage performance. PwC’s 2025 Investor Survey shows that 61% would increase their investment in companies using sustainability data for efficiency and performance. This means there is great opportunity to use the insights from your reporting to shape your business strategy and drive reinvention.
We understand the data you need to build resilience and create value. We combine the right people, technology, and knowledge to support your entire business transformation. Our approach focuses on delivering results through practical reinvention and sustainable improvement.
Optimise reporting
Optimise your reporting function
We help you improve how your business collects, stores, and uses complex data. Automation can boost efficiency and sharpen analysis, making reporting clear and decision-ready. By integrating sustainability data with existing systems and applying AI, we unlock smart analytics and forecasting. Partnering with leaders like SAP, Microsoft, and Workiva, we tailor reporting platforms to streamline workflows and strengthen data integrity across your reporting ecosystem.
AI is reshaping the way reporting is managed. By reducing repetitive tasks and simplifying data preparation, you can use AI-driven workflows to enhance the speed, consistency, and quality of your insights. We work with you to build governance frameworks, solid processes, and strong controls. And our AI tools strengthen these controls by allowing real-time monitoring––spotting anomalies and enabling data accuracy continuously.
Leaders who navigate this effectively can gain a competitive edge—addressing fast-changing compliance and stakeholder demands directly, while offering valuable insights to tackle their own sustainability challenges and performance.
