Description

Key Sustainability Trends and Developments in EMEA, 2024


This IDC Market Perspective provides an overview of key developments in corporate sustainability and ESG in Europe. Regulatory requirements (especially CSRD reporting) remain the primary drivers for initiatives. However, a multitude of laws and ESG specifications creates challenges as organizations are struggling with ESG strategy and data management. Sustainability is on the verge of becoming a business opportunity for advanced companies, but there are still hurdles to overcome and new topics emerging, such as climate risk and nature tech."Demands from regulators and other stakeholders are pushing European companies to accelerate their ESG initiatives, but as macroeconomic conditions remain difficult, sustainability maturity is advancing only slowly. Technology vendors are also in demand, but they must mature their offerings and go-to-market approaches. It will be critical to showcase business value resulting from sustainability initiatives," said Katharina Grimme, associate vice president and research lead on sustainability, IDC Europe.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
