When sustainability becomes strategy: inside the rise of data-driven climate leadership

In a year that saw sustainability move decisively from aspiration to operational reality, Wolters Kluwer’s CCH Tagetik ESG & Sustainability for Planning & Analytics has been named a winner of the SEAL Sustainable Service Awards.

The SEAL Award is one of the industry’s most respected global honors recognizing innovation, measurable impact, and corporate leadership in environmental stewardship.

A milestone moment in the evolution of sustainability leadership  

The awards, now in their tenth year, spotlight organizations that demonstrate meaningful progress in addressing climate and ESG challenges. This recognition underscores the role that sophisticated data, scenario planning, and integrated ESG intelligence can play. Together, these capabilities enable organizations to translate sustainability goals into actionable business strategy. 

Matt Harney, Chairperson and Founder of SEAL Awards, said of program’s milestone year: 

“As we mark the tenth year of the SEAL Business Sustainability Awards, this year’s honorees show that sustainability is no longer a parallel initiative, it is becoming the operating system of modern business. Across industries and continents, these leaders are proving that measurable environmental progress happens when innovation, operations, and leadership align around impact. We commend each winner not only for what they have achieved, but for the example they set and the momentum they create for even greater action in the years ahead.” 

Turning ESG ambition into action through integrated planning

That momentum is particularly evident in the capabilities that earned CCH Tagetik this distinction. As companies face pressure from regulators, investors, and their own boards to demonstrate credible pathways toward decarbonization and resilience, many are looking to integrate sustainability into the same decision-making frameworks that govern financial and operational performance.  

CCH Tagetik ESG & Sustainability for Planning & Analytics is designed precisely to facilitate that integration. 

“This recognition reflects our commitment to empowering customers with data-driven insights that turn ambition into measurable progress.”
