Case Study: NWS wins business and streamlines ESG reporting with Greenplaces

How NWS is winning business and building a culture of visibility, communication, and operational excellence via sustainability

NWS, a trusted national telecom services provider, faced the challenge of efficiently responding to growing requests for ESG information from its largest customers and investors. An individual team member was tasked with building a sustainability program from scratch alongside her other responsibilities and needed the right tools to make it manageable. They partnered with Greenplaces to use its sustainability strategy and management platform to establish a foundational program.

By implementing the Greenplaces platform, NWS was able to measure its carbon footprint in under a month using automated data integrations and create over 20 new ESG policies. This enabled them to achieve 100% renewable energy for their Scope 2 electricity emissions and quickly secure Bronze status in the EcoVadis rating system. The solution from Greenplaces provided a single source of truth, allowing NWS to easily share accurate data and policies, which was instrumental in renewing a key client and securing business.
