Business Wire
Werner Enterprises (Nasdaq: WERN), a premier transportation and
logistics provider, announced its implementation of Salesforce’s
Net Zero Cloud in combination with Workiva’s reporting platform to
manage and measure its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)
data at a level of granularity previously not possible. This
combined system will support Werner as it aims to achieve key ESG
goals, including a 55 percent greenhouse gas emissions reduction by
2035.
As part of the Werner DRIVESM (Durable, Results, Innovation,
Values, ESG) strategy unveiled during Werner’s second quarter 2022
earnings call, this announcement supports and elevates these
initiatives. Werner DRIVESM incorporates sustainability, capital
allocation, an outcome oriented approach to operations, a drive to
innovate and a culture that supports and values team members.
“Our collaboration with Salesforce and Workiva further elevates
our ESG goals by utilizing both solutions and our proprietary
insights,” said Nathan Meisgeier, EVP & Chief Legal Officer at
Werner. “Because of Werner’s prominent role in the supply chain, we
have set aggressive ESG goals and are also positioned to help our
customers meet and exceed their own sustainability goals. The
combination of Salesforce’s Net Zero Cloud and Workiva’s platform
plays a key role in measuring and reporting our ESG progress.”
Through this software integration, Werner will utilize Workiva’s
cloud-based platform and multiple solutions, including ESG,
financial reporting, and audit and controls, to capture and report
its financial and non-financial information. The platform will pull
in Werner’s environmental data leveraging Salesforce’s Net Zero
Cloud.
“We put technology in the hands of our customers so they can
make meaningful decisions about climate action,” said Ari
Alexander, GM of Net Zero Cloud, Salesforce. “Organizations must
work toward accelerating to net zero. We’re thrilled to collaborate
with Werner and Workiva to implement and track Werner's emissions
data more accurately with Salesforce’s Net Zero Cloud to reach
climate commitments faster.”
"ESG reporting is complex, requiring the ingestion, capture,
management, and reporting of financial and non-financial data from
many different sources. Workiva’s end-to-end platform powers
transparent reporting by enabling customers to streamline the flow
of data, ensure accuracy to meet evolving ESG disclosure
requirements and validate data for assurance,” said Julie Iskow,
President & COO at Workiva. "Collaborating with Salesforce
extends the value of the Workiva platform for mutual customers like
Werner. It's through these collaborations with other technology
providers that we collectively will help businesses make better
data-driven decisions for their companies and the environment.”
In 2021, Werner released its inaugural CSR report, announcing
nine specific ESG goals the company plans to achieve in the coming
years. This September, the company shared a CSR Update Report
highlighting achievements, milestones and additional goals. To view
