Creating a better and more prosperous future for all is not something that will come easily. Around the globe, the need for collaboration on sustainability issues is more prevalent than ever. From governments to businesses, working together towards a common goal is necessary. Examples can be seen everywhere like the NetZero Banking Alliance, where the UN is working with global banks to align investments and lending with net-zero emissions by 2050.
From partnerships to government regulations, there is a sense of coming together for a common goal. This should be no different when it comes to sustainability within a company.
No matter how you plan to incorporate sustainability into your business strategy and even if you choose to have a team completely focused on sustainability, it will still touch every department. Finance, marketing, product development, energy management, manufacturing, human resources, and more will need to understand how sustainability is being worked into your business strategy and what it means for their work. As well, with regulations and reporting comes the need for data – data that lives across many departments in your business.
The Challenges of Data Silos
Within an organization, all departments hold data on their work. When it comes to sustainability, most departments’ data is needed in order to have a full view of how that business is performing. The issue – many businesses have data silos.
When the sustainability team, or whoever is working on reporting and harmonizing a business’s sustainability, needs that data, it is often hard to get. With time spent gathering and consolidating the data, challenges arise. When the process isn’t automated, it can result in inconsistent and inaccurate data due to human error. The cost of having employees work hard to produce this data in labor is also huge for a company.
Without good data, companies are unable to know how they are truly performing in the key sustainability areas that matter to them most. This makes it difficult to make progress towards goals, and when regulated can also have legal implications.
Benefits of Cross-Departmental Collaboration
When you are able to break these barriers, you will gain a holistic understanding of sustainability efforts within your company. By being able to analyze sustainability data from every aspect of your company, you will be able to get a full picture of what should be acted on next and who should be responsible for these changes. As well you will be able to capture the profitability of different sustainability initiatives when working closely with the finance team to determine what makes sense for your business now.
