CHICAGO (Nov. 14, 2023) – Organizations worldwide face mounting pressure from regulators, investors, employees, customers and communities to effectively track, manage and report on environmental, social and governance (ESG) and sustainability goals. Leading advisory CPA firm Baker Tilly US, LLP (Baker Tilly) announces strategic collaborations with Sustain.Life and Sumday, two pioneering organizations transforming emissions-reporting solutions for businesses of all sizes.
“With the regulatory landscape rapidly changing, the need for effective controls over non-financial reporting is more important than ever,” said Srinand Yalamanchili, Baker Tilly ESG and sustainability director. “Combining Baker Tilly's industry-focused ESG and sustainability advisory and assurance expertise with the platforms of Sustain.Life and Sumday creates a comprehensive and adaptable suite of emissions-reporting solutions that empower organizations to measure, manage and report their environmental impact.”
Sustain.Life is a leading carbon management SaaS platform that empowers companies of all sizes to measure and report their carbon emissions while providing guided actions to meet their reduction goals. The platform equips organizations with intuitive tools to efficiently navigate and manage intricate emissions profiles and complex supply chains while also providing a host of features to support comprehensive decarbonization efforts across scopes 1, 2 and 3.
Annalee Bloomfield, CEO of Sustain.Life, said, “Sustain.Life is focused on helping companies meet near-term compliance and disclosure requirements while also building the foundation of longer-term sustainable operations. Our audit-ready reporting platform grows with clients to enable data-driven decision-making, target setting, and meaningful progress toward decarbonization. We are thrilled to join forces with a premier firm like Baker Tilly and are confident that merging our innovative software with Baker Tilly's impressive services will deliver meaningful value.”
