Case Study: Pearson achieves accurate, auditable sustainability reporting with Ecometrica's Sustainability Suite

Pearson’s sustainability reporting has reached a new level of accuracy since implementing the Ecometrica Platform

Pearson plc, the world’s largest education publisher with over 36,000 employees and £5bn revenue, faced growing difficulty managing sustainability data across more than 1,400 sites using spreadsheets amid new UK mandatory reporting requirements. Seeking robustness, auditability, integration with finance/ERP/energy systems, and real‑time reporting, Pearson ran a formal tender and selected Ecometrica’s Sustainability suite to replace its sprawling spreadsheet process.

Ecometrica implemented its platform—including GHG/Carbon, Water, Waste, Business Travel and Ethical modules—providing an intuitive interface, expert analyst support, audit‑ready outputs (assured by PwC) and cost‑effective integration so Pearson’s CSR team could get up and running quickly. The Ecometrica solution delivered real‑time management information and, as Pearson noted, a “new level of accuracy” in sustainability reporting while streamlining compliance and reporting workflows.
