It has to be a combination of both Business & IT KPI's, preferably in the ratio of 40:60.

How about both.

A simple start would be a measure of revenue to IT costs.

My ESG team uses a dedicated application to consolidate indicators for external reporting. This system manages a workflow where a designated owner submits data and a validator approves it. However, the process is heavily manual and lacks system integration. With upcoming regulations like CVM 193 in Brazil, the pressure for accurate, auditable, and timely ESG data is intensifying, and our current tool is being questioned. Question: What strategies or platforms have you implemented to automate the extraction of ESG data from various source systems (EHS, HR, ERP, etc.) into a centralized reporting tool?
