If you need software for sustainability data management and reporting, consider launching a request for proposal (RFP). This can help you find the right software to measure, manage, and share your environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance.

However, launching an RFP can be a daunting task, especially if you don't have a clear strategy and process in place. To help you, we have recommended practices for creating and launching an RFP for sustainability software based on our experience as a sustainability solutions provider. Discover questions across the areas below to consider including in your RFP:

• Sustainability Strategy & Performance: How does the software set, track, and report on KPIs?
• Data Management: Does the software manage structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data across all material sustainability topics?
• Audit & Data Quality: What are the software capabilities and/or processes that support data audits?
• Sustainability Reporting & Disclosure: How does the software create sustainability reports for internal and external reporting?
• Workflow & User Management: What are the software capabilities to assign permissions or roles and accountability for data?
• Implementation & Support: What is the software implementation methodology and timeline?
• Industry Experience & Services: What is the company's background, services, experience, and qualifications in providing sustainability products and services?
