## Resource

Episode 45 of Enterprise Tech with Fexingo digs into a quiet crisis in Fortune 500 procurement: vendor-reported ESG data is often unreliable, inconsistent, or outright greenwashed. Lucas and Luna explore how companies like Walmart and JPMorgan Chase are pushing for third-party audits, standardized frameworks like the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), and contractual penalties for data accuracy. They discuss a 2025 study from the University of Oxford that found 40% of ESG data points from Fortune 500 suppliers had material errors, and how procurement teams are now using blockchain-based attestation platforms to verify claims. The episode also covers the practical challenges: smaller suppliers lack resources to comply, and auditors are scarce. A concrete look at how the world's biggest buyers are trying to clean up the data that drives trillion-dollar capital allocation decisions. #Fortune500 #Procurement #ESG #DataAccuracy #Greenwashing #SupplyChain #SASB #Blockchain #Audit #Walmart #JPMorgan #OxfordStudy #VendorManagement #Compliance #Sustainability #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EnterpriseTech Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
