IDC Survey: ESG Data Readiness in EMEA: Status Quo and Future Trends

Katharina Grimme — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Survey analyzes environmental, social, and governance (ESG) data management maturity in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) organizations, as well as future plans to use external suppliers for ESG data management tasks. With ESG data management still limited to ad hoc, manual processes, tech suppliers must be aware of existing organizational and technological barriers (e.g., lack of skills or integrating ESG data with current business systems). The analysis also looks at AI/generative AI deployment plans and the relative involvement of different business functions in the external supplier selection process. Together, these dynamics highlight clear opportunities for technology suppliers to deliver integrated, standard-aligned, and execution-focused ESG data management solutions adapted to EMEA market requirements.
