PwC named a Leader in IDC MarketScape: Asia/Pacific Sustainability/ESG Program Management 2024

PwC is a leader in the IDC MarketScape: Asia/Pacific Sustainability/ESG Program Management Services 2024 Vendor Assessment (June 2024, IDC #AP50679323).

The IDC MarketScape states ‘PwC has been building technical sustainability and associated digital capability in areas of ESG data, generative AI (GenAI), cloud, IoT, and blockchain. PwC uses digital accelerators in its sustainability/ESG program management services engagements and offers them as a commercial solution to customers. In addition, the PwC team works closely with its major global alliances, such as SAP, Google, Microsoft, Workiva, and Salesforce, to provide integrated end-to-end solutions that embed sustainability into core finance, HR, operations, and supply chain processes.’

On PwC’s strengths, the report states, ‘PwC's strength is in its sustainability offering in relation to environmental sustainability, specifically, the impact of environmental considerations on shareholder value, financial assets, mergers and acquisitions, compliance, and risks. This means that customers who engage PwC with their initiatives in relation to the quality of ESG data used and ESG data reported would find the company very capable and comprehensive in their approach. In recent times, PwC's investments in augmenting its ESG tech suite to include tools for carbon data ingestion and tracking have further strengthened the company's ability to support customers in this scope of work.’

The report goes on to say ‘PwC should be considered by customers looking to address complex challenges in relation to their environmental sustainability strategy, energy transition, and carbon/GHG data. PwC is also one of the few deeply experienced providers in the region that can assist organizations in operationalizing nature-based concepts and link it back to shareholder value and business value. PwC offers nature footprinting services, a capability only a few qualified providers in the region can offer. Nature footprinting is the discovery and measure of an organization's operations impact on nature and is a growing requirement for companies in financial services, manufacturing, consumer goods, and industrials.’
