Business Intelligence (BI) tools streamline reporting processes and improve the strategic decision-making capabilities of organizations. This paper aims to explore the role of BI tools, in enhancing sustainability reporting practices. The research adopts an experimental evaluation using the CRISP-DM framework to assess the fit of different tools for different sustainability reporting preferences and goals. The findings provide a comparative analysis of Tableau and Power BI based on a carefully selected set of criteria, including functionality, usability, efficiency, and ease of use. The study concludes with practical recommendations for leveraging these tools to generate effective sustainability reports.
