Sustainability Consulting and ESG Data Solutions

It depends on where you are listed, where you operate, your size and your customers. EU-based and some non-EU companies may fall under the CSRD and ESRS, whose scope and timelines have been revised. Other jurisdictions are adopting ISSB-based standards, and many customers and investors request CDP or their own questionnaires. We help you build a requirements matrix with your legal and sustainability advisors, then design data processes that cover the overlap efficiently.

Our focus is the data, technology and process side of sustainability reporting: requirements translation, data models, collection, calculation, controls and reporting. We work alongside your sustainability team and, where needed, specialist advisors on topics such as target setting. We do not provide assurance; instead, we prepare documentation, controls and evidence trails that make the work of your independent assurance provider faster and smoother.

We start with a screening of all relevant categories using spend-based or average-data methods to identify where emissions are concentrated. For the most significant categories, we set up structured collection of supplier-specific or activity data and track data quality for each source. The methodology and assumptions are documented, and the data model supports replacing estimates with better data over time without rebuilding calculations.

Sometimes. Dedicated platforms offer ready-made frameworks, emission factor libraries and collection workflows that speed up a first reporting cycle. Organizations with mature data platforms may prefer to build the ESG data model there and use a disclosure tool for the final report. We assess both options against your requirements, existing landscape and budget, and we can implement either approach or a combination of the two.

A first cycle covering key environmental metrics, such as Scope 1 and 2 emissions, energy and waste, can often be automated within three to four months, depending on the number of sites and data sources. Broader scopes including Scope 3 and social metrics are usually phased over several cycles. We prioritize datapoints by regulatory deadline and materiality, so the most important items are ready first.

We assign data owners, document definitions and calculation methods for every metric, version emission factors, and log every data load, adjustment and approval. Validation rules flag outliers and missing values before data reaches reports. The result is a clear trail from each disclosed figure back to the source document or system, similar to financial reporting controls, which assurance providers can test efficiently.
