ESG DATA CORE

For mid-sized companies and their supply chains

Who knows which supplier, or which climate event, could stop production next quarter?

Mid-sized companies, the backbone of every supply chain, have no one. CIS, the platform from ESG Data Core, catches climate, supplier, geopolitical and regulatory risk early, ranks what matters most and tracks every fix to resolution. No ESG background needed.

The blind spot

You can’t cut what you can’t see.

For the average company reporting to CDP, supply-chain emissions are 26 times those of its own operations.

15%have a target for their supply-chain emissions.

The cost

In 2024, ONE hurricane flooded ONE plant.

60%

of United States intravenous (IV) fluids came from that single supplier.

The hospitals did nothing wrong.

Their risk was in their SUPPLIER’S building.

The pressure

The pressure keeps rising.

  • Natural disasters

    $220bn

    lost worldwide last year.

  • Insurers now ask

    Is your supplier exposed?

    Tighter terms. Higher premiums.

    83%

    of insured natural-catastrophe losses in 2025 were in the US.

  • Regulation

    Dec 2027

    Forced-labour products can’t be sold in the EU, or exported from it.

    3,000+

  • Supply chain

  • Due diligence in the EU

    3%

    of worldwide turnover: the maximum fine for due-diligence failures. Large buyers pass the questions to their suppliers.

  • In the United States

    SB 253

    California requires companies with over $1bn in revenue to report their emissions, supply chain included.

    Under the UFLPA, goods linked to forced labour in Xinjiang are stopped at the US border.

The solution

CIS

Corporate Impact Stewardshipby ESG Data Core

CIS was built for them.

From visibility to action.

CIS is the platform ESG Data Core built for mid-sized companies and their supply chains. Where most tools stop at the report, CIS takes each risk to an owner, a fix and the evidence that it worked.

Operations · product · suppliers · climate hazards · geopolitical risk · regulation → carbon · compliance · risk · remediation, in one system. Import files, invite suppliers or connect your systems through the API.

A report doesn’t cut a single tonne of emissions.

Risk, impact & opportunity

Where you’re exposed. What to fix first.

For example

A critical supplier sits in a flood zone, and is also your biggest emissions hotspot.

We analyse both, and assign someone to fix it.

What a company gets

So what does a company GET with CIS?

  • Before

    It sees disruption before it hits.

    And keeps its place in the supply chain.

  • Emissions

    It knows exactly where to reduce, and sees whether the tonnes actually fell.

    Measured on the activity, not estimated once a year.

  • Cut

    Cut risk. Cut costs. Cut emissions.

    And get up to about eight employees’ worth of manual work back.*

  • Unify

    One source of truth for every goal and regulation.

    Environmental, social and governance, with no duplicated work.

Climate impact

Measured, not promised.

  1. 1

    Baseline

    Your emissions, from the activity you already record.

  2. 2

    Hotspot

    Where the tonnes really are, including in your suppliers.

  3. 3

    Proven fix

    A reduction that has worked before, with its evidence.

  4. 4

    Tonnes fell

    The next figure shows whether it worked. Verified.

    Verified · tonnes of CO₂e

We don’t remove carbon ourselves. CIS makes reductions findable, doable, verifiable.

Mitigation + adaptation. In one system, we also show which suppliers the next climate event will hit.

Common questions

What companies ask us first.

  1. Q1

    Do we need ESG expertise to use CIS?

    No. You enter activity you already track, such as fuel, energy, headcount and suppliers, and CIS turns it into risk, carbon and ESG figures.

  2. Q2

    Which risks does CIS cover?

    Climate hazards, supplier, geopolitical and regulatory risk, ranked by their impact on your business and kept next to your carbon, social and governance data.

  3. Q3

    Can't we do this in Excel or Power BI?

    A spreadsheet holds the number. It does not keep where it came from or who changed it, and it does not assign anyone to fix a risk. CIS does all of that in one place.

  4. Q4

    Does CIS replace our current systems?

    No. Your ERP and accounting tools stay. Bring data in from a CSV, from invoices or through the API.

  5. Q5

    How do we get started?

    Book a demo. Tell us what your customers, insurers or regulators are asking for, and we show you how CIS would handle it.

The ask

Right now, we’re building CIS with the right partners.

  • Funds

    willing to pilot portfolio risk analysis with us.

  • Companies · public bodies · buyers

    who want to co-design CIS with us, with preferential conditions.

You already have the data. You already pay for it.

Let’s make it work.
