The Challenge
Kroll, a leading provider of risk and financial advisory solutions, was facing challenges in managing its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) credentials. The company was using a spreadsheet-based approach for its climate program, which was proving to be cumbersome and inefficient. The spreadsheet method was not sophisticated or secure enough to support the carbon footprint measurement of a growing, global organization like Kroll. Additionally, the company was struggling with ESG reporting, which was time-consuming and felt like a full-time job. Keeping up with the ever-changing regulatory landscape was essential for Kroll to remain compliant and avoid risk, but it was also a time-intensive task. The company needed a more efficient and effective solution to support its ESG initiatives.

As part of its commitment to sustainability, Kroll is building a climate program and is keen on improving its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) credentials.
The Solution
Kroll turned to Watershed, a software solution, to overcome its challenges. The company implemented Watershed to calculate its 2022 carbon footprint, which proved to be an efficient and effective process. Watershed provided a roadmap for Kroll to understand where it could find the necessary data points for its footprint and reach out to the correct stakeholders. The software also served as a single source of truth, allowing colleagues to ensure that the right data was being submitted. Moreover, Watershed's SaaS platform allowed Kroll to have all of its historical and current data in a single source for simplified analysis and planning. For ESG reporting, Kroll used Watershed's Guided CDP report builder. This tool helped the company prepare a complete draft to present to its internal stakeholders efficiently, saving time and effort.
