Background
The term “sustainability” covers decision-making and practices that support an organization’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) values. American companies have tended to lag behind their EMEA counterparts in environmental sustainability investments but have forged ahead in the governance component, particularly in terms of data privacy and security. This is in part because the reasons for these investments vary from region to region, with American companies focused on meeting their third-party compliance criteria and EMEA-based companies focused on accurate reporting of complex environmental data. Service providers have become crucial partners in areas such as IT infrastructure efficiency, data privacy and other reporting related to
ESG.
