Case Study: The Hidden Cost of Fragmented Sustainability Reporting
Case Studies, Sustainability
A Fortune 500 CPG company strengthened sustainability reporting with Lingaro’s Sustainability Reporting Hub, a governed data lake and dashboard layer that unified fragmented data and enabled audit-ready disclosures.
Client Profile:
Lingaro partnered with a global CPG leader and Fortune 500 company operating across multiple regions under complex, evolving regulatory requirements.
Challenge:
The client faced rising pressure to deliver accurate, auditable sustainability disclosures across CSRD, ESRS, CDP, GRI, SASB, and EPR. Reporting relied on fragmented spreadsheets and SaaS tools, which created inconsistent data and low trust. Teams duplicated work across frameworks and spent significant time reconciling inputs. Audit readiness depended on manual explanations instead of system-backed traceability. The organization needed a centralized sustainability data foundation to ensure consistency, ownership, and compliance at scale.
Solution:
The Sustainability Reporting Hub is a unified data platform for compliance, assurance, and executive insight. Lingaro replaced spreadsheet-based processes with a governed data lake and standardized mappings, enabling one dataset to support CSRD, GRI, CDP, SASB, EPR, and local requirements.
