The first regulations in this direction have been introduced by the EU as well as at the national level, and they are further strengthening the already increasing relevance of ESG aspects in investment activities. For this reason, a large number of investors are now integrating ESG criteria into their investment and risk processes and are transparently facing up to the new transformation task of the financial market with professional ESG management.

In addition, you will gain insights on how to address these challenges through digital and standardized implementation with software solutions.

All five companies and WeSustain customers use the Enterprise Sustainability Management (ESM) software for their sustainability management, which was analyzed and evaluated in the ranking along 30 key indicators in the three categories environment, social and economy. In addition, an online panel of 13,000 citizens was used to assess their perception of sustainability in relation to the companies.

“Our customers rely on WeSustain as a software partner to further professionalize their sustainability management because with us they build collaborative and digital processes to efficiently manage and implement their sustainability projects. They are therefore laying the foundation for a transparent communication and an effective sustainability performance.

The magazine stern and the market research company Statista compared the sustainability performance of a total of 2,000 companies based in Germany for the ranking. The precondition for the ranking was that the company has at least 500 employees, is one of the companies with the highest revenues in Germany or is listed in an index of the Dax family.
