What is ESG?

The rise of environmental and social concerns has made ESG a top priority for companies across industries. ESG metrics provide insights into a company's environmental impact, social responsibility, and governance practices. Annual ESG reporting has become the norm for many businesses as they seek to align their operations with sustainable practices. Starting in April 2022, large UK businesses are legally obligated to disclose their ESG data and climate-related financial information, highlighting the growing importance of ESG in the corporate world. For more information on what ESG is and how it brings value to your business, read our two blogs ‘What Is ESG, and Why Is It Important?’ and ‘How Does ESG Bring Value to Your Business?’

How Does Voyage Control Benefit UK Event Industry Businesses' ESG Reporting?

Voyage Control helps companies manage logistics and supply chain needs while tracking ESG data for reporting and compliance. For event industry businesses, we provide real-time data to meet sustainability and social expectations. Our delivery management software calculates total supply chain emissions, optimizes deliveries, and reduces vehicle idling times. We also manage vehicle flow to reduce impacts on local communities. By providing precise data, we support site-specific requirements for UK event industry businesses.
