Decision Intelligence Benchmark: ESG and Sustainability Technology and Vendor Decisions for 2026
Data and insights on how ESG and sustainability leaders are improving data quality, managing regulatory pressure, and evolving their tech stacks in 2026.
ESG and sustainability leaders are managing growing regulatory demands with small, highly constrained tech stacks. Most teams rely on just a few core tools. However, those tools aren’t keeping pace with the complexity of the work.
That gap is driving targeted investment. Leaders are prioritizing data quality, reporting, and product-level sustainability while navigating approval challenges that slow progress. The result is a measured approach: optimizing what exists while selectively upgrading where it matters most.
This Decision Intelligence Benchmark shows how your peers are responding and where they’re focusing next.
Inside, you’ll discover:
- Why 74% of ESG teams operate with just 0–3 tools
- How data quality is the top driver of tech decisions, ahead of efficiency
- Where investment is increasing most, led by product sustainability and ESG data management
- Why most leaders see their tools as only “somewhat enabling”
- How approval challenges are limiting the pace of tech change
