Adopting technology for sustainability management: from strategic selection to value realization

In this whitepaper, prepared together with Barco, we share Barco’s strategic journey to transform sustainability management from a compliance task into a value-driven business priority. By integrating advanced technologies, Barco demonstrates how sustainability can move beyond ambition to tangible action.

Sustainability management and reporting are evolving rapidly, requiring more than traditional approaches. Barco’s adoption of Watershed for sustainability data management and Workiva for integrated reporting highlights the importance of leveraging digital tools to generate meaningful, decision-useful insights.

This paper explores the rationale behind selecting these platforms and the critical role of data quality, accessibility, and governance as the foundation for authentic and impactful sustainability narratives. It outlines how these technologies enable companies to meet compliance requirements while unlocking real business value.
