• Sweep and Arcadis will support enterprises with sustainability reporting, operational execution, and decision-making across global markets.

Sustainability Data Moves From Reporting To Execution

Paris and Amsterdam based sustainability technology and consultancy leaders Sweep and Arcadis have launched a global partnership aimed at helping enterprises convert sustainability data into business value.

The partnership brings together Sweep’s sustainability intelligence platform with Arcadis’ advisory, technical, and delivery expertise. The goal is to help organizations strengthen how they collect, structure, interpret, and use sustainability data across reporting, operations, supply chains, and capital programs.

For large companies, sustainability data has become a governance issue as much as a reporting task. Investors want reliable metrics. Regulators want consistency. Customers want proof. Boards want clearer links between climate strategy, operational risk, and financial performance.

Yet many companies still rely on fragmented systems, manual processes, and siloed reporting workflows. As disclosure expectations rise, those gaps can slow decision-making and increase compliance risk.

Sweep and Arcadis are positioning the partnership around that problem. Together, they plan to help clients build stronger data foundations, improve reporting readiness, and translate sustainability insights into practical action.

Enterprises Face A Data And Delivery Gap

The partnership reflects a wider shift in corporate sustainability. Reporting alone is no longer enough. Companies now need sustainability systems that can inform procurement, asset management, capital allocation, and long-term resilience planning.

Sweep brings enterprise-grade flexibility, regulatory depth, and sustainability intelligence. Its platform is designed to turn fragmented sustainability data into business intelligence that companies can use across teams and functions.

Arcadis adds advisory, implementation, and transformation capabilities. Its work across design, engineering, consultancy, and sustainable built and natural assets gives the partnership a delivery layer beyond software.

That combination matters for executives. Many organizations have already invested in emissions accounting, ESG reporting tools, and compliance workflows. However, the next challenge is harder. They must connect that information to decisions that affect costs, risk, infrastructure, and growth.

“Organizations today need more than visibility into their sustainability data, they need the ability to turn that data into informed action which brings value, efficiency, and resilience to their business. Arcadis brings deep expertise in helping companies deliver complex sustainability initiatives, and together we can help enterprises build stronger foundations for reporting, decision-making, and long-term business value. We are especially excited by the momentum this partnership is building in the US.” – Rachel Delacour, CEO and Co-founder, Sweep

Sustainability Becomes A Business Performance Tool

For C-suite leaders, the partnership points to a practical reality. Sustainability data is becoming part of core business infrastructure. It now touches finance, operations, procurement, asset planning, and risk management.

That creates pressure for stronger governance. Companies need clear ownership of data, consistent methodologies, and systems that can withstand external scrutiny. At the same time, they need tools that help teams act on the information, not just prepare annual disclosures.

Arcadis said the partnership is designed to close that execution gap.

“Many organizations have made progress on sustainability reporting, but the challenge now is embedding that insight into how they operate. That’s where we see the gap – between data and delivery. We believe that sustainability is a catalyst for positive business transformation, not just a compliance exercise. By combining Sweep’s sustainability intelligence with Arcadis’ advisory, technical, and asset knowledge, we help clients harness the full potential of their sustainability data, turning complex information into actionable strategies and insights that support operational decisions across their assets, supply chains and capital programs. This partnership strengthens our ability to not only support clients with data and reporting, but also drive measurable performance improvement and resilience, unlocking opportunities for growth.” – Josh Nothwang, Global Solutions Director, Integrated Sustainability & Compliance, Arcadis

Why It Matters For Executives And Investors

The business case is becoming clearer. Better sustainability data can support compliance, but it can also expose inefficiencies, improve asset resilience, and guide investment decisions.

For investors, stronger data systems can improve confidence in corporate transition plans and sustainability claims. For executives, they can help identify where climate, operational, and financial risks overlap. For regulators, they can support more consistent disclosure across sectors and markets.

The partnership also comes as companies face growing expectations in the US and global markets. Sustainability reporting is moving closer to financial-grade discipline, while operational teams are under pressure to show measurable progress.

By linking software with advisory and delivery expertise, Sweep and Arcadis are betting that enterprises will need integrated support, not isolated tools. The regional momentum in the US adds weight to that strategy.

The broader message is clear. Sustainability data is no longer a back-office reporting function. It is becoming a strategic asset for companies that need to manage risk, protect value, and compete in a low-carbon economy.
