CHICAGO, Sept. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Sphera, a leading global provider of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) performance and risk management software, data and consulting services, today announced that it received a 2022 Stratus Award for Cloud Computing in the Business Intelligence Group's annual award program.
