By using AI-enabled IT platforms, we assist companies to automate sustainability and ESG-related data capturing, processing, analysis, visualisation, and one-touch reporting.
With our experience and expertise in verification, validation, and assurance, we ensure that the automated systems can adequately support:
Our services include the documentation of system architecture, policies, procedures, and processes across every stage of the data lifecycle.
As a grounding rule, we avoid recommending costly new software for ESG management. Rather, we focus on reducing the resource draw by configuring the organisation’s existing systems and processes. The uniqueness of our service lies in our vendor-neutral approach—we do not promote a single IT product or software. Instead, we present a tailored set of affordable options around popular platforms for you to choose from.
In our experience, we have seen a continuous battle across the entire value chain involving data input (or capture), processing, analysis, review, monitoring (real-time dashboards), reporting, and supporting verification, validation, and assurance of performance reports.
Many companies struggle with systems integration issues due to multiple systems, manual workflows, or lack of APIs, and cope with large pivot tables, worksheets, and manually managed spreadsheets. While such systems can be helpful at early stages, they are time-consuming, dependency-heavy, and reduce the effectiveness of internal controls.
In today’s regulated sustainability and ESG reporting space, verification, validation, and assurance of reports and claims is fast becoming imperative.
Across most countries, there is heightened regulatory pressure, requirements from financial market players, and stakeholder demand for dependable ESG information. As a result, most companies allocate substantial resources to this effort.
However, a typical verification, validation, or assurance engagement involves several stages, such as pre-assessments, readiness assessments, system checks, root cause analysis, method reviews, and data accuracy checks. Standalone or low-credibility systems often offer little support for third parties to execute their procedures or even withstand internal audits.
Our solutions act as a catalyst in this equation. We help create seamless, synchronous systems by using the simplest and most cost-efficient tools available. The uniqueness of our approach lies in not imposing our own system—we instead recommend AI-compatible systems like Microsoft Power Apps and Salesforce, and build the supporting links around them to fit your ESG framework design.
From a pure advisory perspective, we also provide independent opinions on the suitability of sustainability strategies, stakeholder engagement processes, operational readiness, implementation effectiveness, and the suitability of objectives and target setting. These advisory services help bridge gaps before external scrutiny or when progressing from ‘limited’ to ‘reasonable’ levels of assurance.
