Workday, a pioneer in enterprise cloud software for finance and HR, introduced new solutions and increased capabilities to help multinational clients meet shifting ESG standards. The company's current product portfolio supports ESG goals with belonging & diversity solutions, sustainable sourcing, compliance training, and pervasive audit and internal controls features.

Organizations worldwide are facing mounting regulatory pressure, such as the new standards recently proposed by the SEC in the U.S. and European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) in the EU, as well as growing interest and demand from investors and other stakeholders for businesses to adopt sustainability strategies and best practices. As a result, Workday is expanding its ESG offerings to continue helping customers gain visibility and insight into data that is critical to meet current and developing ESG requirements.

Additionally, Workday is enabling its broader ecosystem — including customers, partners, and the wider developer community — to deploy and adopt new ESG capabilities by using open standards and technologies to build extended solutions on the Workday platform, helping to support global customers' ESG initiatives across regions and industries.

Harnessing ESG Data with a Flexible Platform Workday offers a flexible platform that helps enable customers and partners to adapt as ESG regulations continue to develop. As a source of truth for two key components of ESG reporting and compliance – worker and supplier data – Workday is uniquely positioned to support customers as they evolve their social, corporate responsibility, and sustainability efforts to meet disclosure requirements, helping them track how they're progressing toward goals.

With the ESG imperative more pressing than ever before, Workday is building on its existing offerings by continuing to innovate to help its global customers accelerate and expand their ESG efforts with:

Streamlined Workforce Reporting to Measure ESG.

Increased Access to Data to Help Select Sustainable Suppliers.

Tailored Solutions from Partners Built on Workday
