Watershed has been named a Leader in the 2025 Green Quadrant: ESG & Sustainability Reporting Software by Verdantix, a global research and advisory firm.
Just one year after launching our ESG reporting solution, Watershed has earned market-leading scores across critical capabilities like data quality, benchmarking, and readiness for mandatory disclosures, affirming the measurable impact we deliver for organizations navigating fast-changing regulatory demands.
“Sustainability reporting is no longer just about ticking boxes. It’s about building a foundation for stronger, smarter businesses,” said Taylor Francis, co-founder of Watershed. “Companies need more than compliance—they need reliable, scalable systems that drive ROI, reduce risk, and support long-term strategy. This recognition underscores our commitment to being that trusted partner for our customers.”
“Amid growing regulatory uncertainty and rising stakeholder scrutiny, organizations can no longer rely on fragmented systems or manual processes to manage sustainability disclosures,” said Verdantix. “The demand for accurate, auditable and real-time (or near real-time) sustainability data has elevated reporting software from a supporting tool to a strategic requirement. The 2025 Green Quadrant highlights those vendors best positioned to help firms navigate evolving requirements, meet assurance expectations and embed sustainability performance into core business decision-making.”
Verdantix highlighted Watershed’s strengths across the full ESG reporting lifecycle. Key capabilities include:
- Integrated sustainability management and forecasting tools
