Case Study: Southwest Airlines streamlines financial reporting, ESG, and SOX compliance with Workiva

Southwest Airlines unifies reporting with Workiva for 150-page One Report

Southwest Airlines sought to streamline its complex financial reporting, SOX compliance, and ESG reporting processes, which were hampered by disconnected systems and manual workflows. The company partnered with Workiva to implement its integrated platform for a unified approach to these challenges.

By adopting Workiva's solutions, Southwest connected its financial, risk, and ESG reporting on a single platform. This implementation resulted in significant time savings, improved accuracy through automated data linking, and enhanced cross-functional collaboration. Workiva provided the tools for efficient collaborative review, data control, and evidence management, ultimately allowing over 200 contributors to produce the company's extensive annual "One Report" with greater confidence and integrity.
