All information included in the tool is divided in 3 main pillars; Environment, Social and Governance.

Data are collected and uploaded on a predetermined frequency (daily, monthly, annually, etc.) to the ESG tool. Alternatively, data are automatically uploaded (i.e. through integration with the existing systems). All KPIs are automatically calculated and are visualized in various formats (i.e. graphical representation, infographics, tabular form). Moreover, the user is able to filter the respective information in order to select one or multiple dimensions (i.e. time period, calculation methods, etc.). In addition the user can extract the relevant information and produce reports in a standardized format, which can meet the requirements of various stakeholder groups (i.e. verifiers, customers, financial institutions, etc.).

Data are collected on a predetermined frequency (i.e. monthly, quarterly or annually) through various input sources. Indicative input sources include:

  • Standardized input forms (i.e. in the form of an excel spreadsheet or csv file), which are developed, based on the unique requirements of each company.
  • Existing ERP systems. Our tool is integrated with existing systems (i.e. procurement, commercial, hr, health and safety modules of ERPs) and automatically retrieves relevant information on a predetermined frequency.
  • Publicly available information, depicting company’s data (i.e. corporate web site, public fillings in the form of 20-f, etc.)
  • Manual data input by the users
