Case Study: FIS achieves an award-winning ESG strategy and streamlined reporting with Donnelley Financial Solutions

How We Helped FIS Develop an ESG Strategy and Award-winning Report

FIS, a global leader in financial services technology, engaged DFIN to help develop a repeatable ESG strategy and annual reporting program. Facing the challenge of integrating data from multiple sources and securing cross‑departmental buy‑in, FIS selected DFIN’s ESG reporting software and advisory services (ESG Solutions by DFIN) to create a publishable, stakeholder‑facing sustainability report that would differentiate the company, mitigate risk, and streamline operations.

DFIN implemented its five‑step ESG methodology — selecting material indicators, conducting peer reviews, defining thematic messaging, creating content with consultants and writers, and designing branded infographics — to consolidate inputs and produce an award‑winning report. The program delivered measurable impact, including recognition from IR Magazine for Best ESG Reporting (2021) and reported environmental improvements (‑23% energy usage; ‑11% Scope 1 emissions; ‑25% Scope 2 emissions; ‑23% combined Scope 1 and 2), while establishing a repeatable, audit‑ready reporting process and stronger stakeholder engagement.
