Case Study: Cognizant strengthens ESG reporting with Workiva

Cognizant streamlines ESG reporting in its first annual report with Workiva

Cognizant, a global IT leader, faced challenges in producing its inaugural ESG report, including manual data collection from multiple sources and the risk of leaked information when sharing drafts. To bring more rigor and security to this process, the company turned to its existing vendor, Workiva, and its sustainability reporting platform.

By implementing the Workiva platform, Cognizant gained an end-to-end solution for its entire ESG reporting process. This provided a single, secure ecosystem for data collection, framework mapping, and reporting, which significantly reduced the risk of human error and data leaks. Workiva's governance features also allowed for meticulous tracking of changes and user access, strengthening Cognizant's overall ESG program and setting the stage for reporting ESG metrics with financial-level rigor.
