The findings are included in the Verdantix Smart Innovators: Sustainability 
Management Software (SMS) and the EHS Software Benchmark: Sustainability 
Reporting reports. 

Steve Bolton, environmental health and safety research director, Verdantix, 
said, "Organizations are under increasing pressure from regulators, customers, 
investors, and nongovernment organizations to deeply embed sustainability 
strategies into their business plans. Recognized industry frameworks, such as 
SGD's GHG, CDP, and GRI, need to be managed and reported on. Software now plays 
a critical role in helping businesses collate and process a huge spectrum of 
data and metrics. We established UL's SMS has extensive diversity and 
capabilities to help businesses with all the sustainability needs outlined in 
the report and have the broadest and deepest functionality to provide EHS and 
sustainability data reporting management."

Giuseppe Barisan, director and general manager for Environment and 
Sustainability division, UL, said, "The report highlights several areas where 
our software performs especially well, including tracking and analyzing 
emissions, environmental, social and governance-related reporting, and 
sustainability strategy mapping. Our team remains focused on helping businesses 
manage all aspects of sustainability management. We recently launched Turbo 
Carbon(TM), to help businesses across all supply chains manage carbon emission 
reporting."
