Case Study: German Multinational Manufacturing Company achieves accurate global sustainability data management and greater transparency with Cority

How a Manufacturing Company Improved its Management of Global Data and Sustainability Performance with Cority

The German Multinational Manufacturing Company, a global operator in more than 100 countries and a leader in forklift trucks and supply chain solutions, needed a way to manage vast, disparate sustainability data (around 1,800 locations and 39,000+ employees) and move off spreadsheets to get accurate, timely insights for strategic sustainability decisions. To meet these needs it adopted Cority’s SaaS-based Sustainability Performance solution to create a single, uniform platform for global reporting and data governance.

Cority implemented a single group-wide enterprise system covering 120 reporting entities and enabling 70 sustainability coordinators to manage large-volume imports/exports, align data with finance and HR, and mirror the company’s organizational structure for real-time updates. The result was improved data quality and transparency—more reliable diesel and electricity consumption data, automated greenhouse‑gas calculations used in the annual report and CDP filing, better HSE and accident reporting, streamlined workflows, and earlier error elimination—demonstrating measurable impact across the business thanks to Cority.
