Why ESGCloud?

ESGCloud is a SaaS platform that roots ESG in company performance by connecting ESG effort to competitive strategy and opportunities, and in turn profitability.

Environmental, Social and
Corporate Governance, ESG for short, refers to
the evaluation of a business’ or organisation’s
collective responsibility towards, and impact on, social and environmental factors. ESG reports are becoming critical non-financial factors that investors look at to assess the risk profile of companies and generate sustainable long-term financial returns from an investment.

Environmental criteria examine environmental stewardship to determine conservation efforts and sustainability practices that affect nature, the environment and the planet.

Social criteria are factors that arise in the
relations between a company, its people, suppliers, customers and communities where it operates.

Governance covers broad activities pertaining to board and management structures, policies, standards, information disclosure, auditing and compliance.

ESGCloud software simplifies this reporting. It enables the collection, management and analysis of data from multiple operations, providing a single source of ESG truth from which disclosures against global frameworks can be made. ESGCloud ensures that companies report on the topics that are most material to their operations and allows them to set benchmarks based on accurate data points, providing a reference point for transparency.

Standardise

Leverage ESGCloud’s pre-configured templates or upload your own ESG reporting templates to bring consistency to your ESG reporting content, and report against any international standard. ESGCloud’s consistent and reliable reporting tools promote high-quality data, enabling your organisation to make the right ESG decisions.

Aggregate

Gather high quality ESG data from global operations though a robust scheduling and notification engine, and aggregate that data at various levels of your organisation in a way that allows you to tell your ESG story. Drill down and segment your information by industry, topic, or location to improve transparency and maximise outcomes.

Manage

ESGCloud’s software enables your organisation to manage and report on the topics that are most material to its operations, all in one place. This allows your organisation to set benchmarks and manage targets based on accurate data points, while tracking risks and opportunities throughout the lifecycle of an initiative.

Fund Manager

Key Issue

“We cannot deliver timely and high quality ESG data to our stakeholders in order to tell our ESG story”

Challenges

  • Our data sets are spread across multiple excel spreadsheets and third party software platforms.
  • We do not trust the quality of our data, it is inconsistent due to different reporting methodologies in different parts of our portfolio.
  • ESG indicators are constantly changing and our systems are not agile enough to cater for the disruption.
  • We spend weeks trying to align our data to various ESG reporting frameworks (GRI, SASB, etc.).

Solution

  • A centralised application that facilitates consistent ESG data collection from all reporting entities.
  • I need to be able to standardise and schedule reporting requests so my ESG data remains high quality and up to date.
  • My ESG data needs to be aggregated across all reporting entities and locations, with the ability to drill down for insight.
  • The ability to isolate data per reporting framework, so that my ESG story makes sense to various stakeholders.

Head of Sustainability

Key Issue

“We are not able to drive value creation by managing ESG risks and opportunities throughout our portfolio”

Challenges

  • We identify ESG risks and opportunities during our screening processes, but I have very little view of how they evolve during the lifecycle of an investment.
  • My ESG action plan is defined at a strategic level, but it is very difficult to ensure that it is promulgated throughout our portfolio.
  • We have no way of creating accountability for the ESG initiatives we want to drive throughout our portfolio.
  • I am not able to track ESG trends across our operations, meaning I have very little data on which to base my ESG decisions.

Solution

  • A consolidated view of all of the initiatives we are driving, throughout our portfolio.
  • The ability to assign responsibility to ESG actions within each reporting entity, meaning that there is accountability for ensuring our ESG vision is achieved.
  • An application with a built in notification engine, that notifies me when an action deadline is close to due date.
  • An application that allows me to track trends in ESG data, giving me some insight into past and future performance.

Chief Executive Officer

Key Issue

“I need to protect the reputation of our company by ensuring ESG related risks and opportunities are reported on and monitored, and at the same time provide timeous ESG data to our stakeholders”

Challenges

  • It is difficult to get a consolidated view of ESG events that may have an impact on company performance and reputation.
  • Tracking and driving actions out of engagements with various stakeholders regarding ESG is difficult and time consuming.
  • We have a responsibility to our employees, clients, community and shareholders to ensure our company operates responsibly, I have no simple way of reporting on that responsibility.
  • We often get lost in the multitude of ESG frameworks, and spend time reporting on information that is not material to our operations.

Solution

  • A central point where major ESG events can be reported and tracked so I can get a real time view of reputational risk.
  • I meet with multiple stakeholders in different capacities, and I would love the ability manage the outcomes of those engagements in one platform.
  • An application that makes high quality ESG data readily available, so that I can report on sustainability requirements to current and potential stakeholders.
  • A simple solution that allows us to select indicators that are material to our industry, and then consistently report on them.

Head of ESG

Key Issue

“ESG reporting is somewhat new to our operations, and while we believe in the value it can create, it can be quite confusing for most of our workforce”

Challenges

  • The ever changing ESG space makes it is difficult to determine what type of data to gather.
  • We often get requests to gather certain pieces of ESG data on short notice, and without a central system for gathering that information, we often fail to fulfil that request.
  • Our stakeholder ESG reporting requirements can become quite onerous, and it is difficult to deliver timeous high quality data without avoiding normal business disruption.
  • Keeping our ESG data up to date is difficult, we gather data from a number of different departments whose core responsibility is not ESG.

Solution

  • Access to a library of ESG content and pre-configured templates, allowing us to leverage off best practice methods.
  • A notification engine to keep up to date with stakeholder reporting requirements, as well as prompt our employees to update ESG data at required intervals.
  • A simple, easy to use application that allows for the capture or import of ESG data without any user training.
  • The ability to set and schedule questionnaires so that ESG data collection does not become a burden, but rather a planned activity.
