ESG DATA CORE

Compliance & Audit Readiness Platform

Act before suppliers become liabilities and compliance becomes costly.

ESG Data Core connects regulatory obligations, supplier evidence and risk in one platform, so your team closes compliance gaps and supplier problems before they turn into fines, disruption or lost contracts.

The problem

What you can't see can cost you.

Regulatory, supplier, operational, reputational and financial risks build up in data scattered across teams, systems and suppliers. By the time they surface, they are already fines, disruptions or lost contracts.

  1. 01

    Regulatory risk

    Which regulations could cost you?

    • CSDDD: up to 3% of global turnover
    • NIS2: €10M or 2% of turnover
    • GDPR: €20M or 4% of turnover
    • CSRD: penalties set by each member state

    Impact

    Fines, sanctions, rework and personal exposure for executives.

  2. 02

    Supplier risk

    Where are your supplier risks?

    • 6–10% of annual revenue lost to supply-chain disruption
    • 73% of firms report losses from supply-chain disruption
    • 70% lack ESG visibility beyond Tier 1 suppliers

    Impact

    Delays, cost increases and contract breaches.

  3. 03

    Operational risk

    What could disrupt your operations?

    • US$3B in weather-related corporate losses reported in a single year
    • 83% of firms link climate risk to financial impact

    Impact

    Damaged assets, higher insurance costs and halted operations.

  4. 04

    Reputational risk

    How exposed is your reputation?

    • up to 30% of brand value lost after one supplier incident
    • +70% greenwashing cases between 2020 and 2023

    Impact

    Public inquiries, boycotts and investor flight.

  5. 05

    Financial risk

    How much growth is at risk?

    • ESG criteria increasingly decide tenders, procurement and loan terms.

    Impact

    Exclusion from bids and more expensive capital.

Why existing tools fall short

Reporting tools, calculators and dashboards each cover one step.

None of them connect obligations to evidence, follow up with suppliers, assign owners or keep an audit trail. That is the work between collecting data and being ready for an audit, and it is where gaps stay open.

ESG Data CoreObligations, evidence, suppliers, risk, owners and remediation in one workflow, with a complete audit trail.

The platform

Six modules on one core.

Collect company, supplier and external data. Assess gaps and risks. Prioritise by exposure. Assign owners and remediate. Keep the evidence auditable. The six modules share one data model, one evidence trail and one risk engine.

Compliance Readiness

Track applicable regulations, obligations and evidence gaps.

Supplier Evidence & Engagement

Request, collect, validate and track supplier data.

Risk & Opportunity Assessment

Identify business-critical risks across operations and the supply chain.

Carbon & ESG Metrics

Calculate, monitor and explain emissions and sustainability indicators.

Remediation & Project Management

Assign owners, deadlines, tasks and mitigation actions.

Audit-Ready Evidence Vault

Documentation, version history, approvals and traceability.

Security

Enterprise controls from day one.

Audit evidence is sensitive by definition. The platform runs on AWS with the controls your auditors already expect from you.

Infrastructure
AWS, encryption at rest and in transit, strict tenant isolation.
Access
Authentication, MFA and role-based access down to module and record.
Traceability
Every action logged. Evidence and data changes versioned.
Continuity
Automated, tested backups and a disaster recovery plan.

Common questions

What organisations ask us first.

  1. Q1

    Why hasn't this problem been solved already?

    Sustainability, compliance, supplier management and business risk have been managed as separate activities, each with its own tools. The problem crosses all of them. Solving it means linking obligations, evidence, suppliers, risk, owners and remediation in one place.

  2. Q2

    Can't we do this with Excel, Power BI or SharePoint?

    They remain useful: Excel stores, Power BI visualises, SharePoint archives. None of them maps evidence to obligations, tracks gaps, follows up with suppliers, scores risk in your context or keeps an end-to-end audit trail. The platform integrates with the tools you already use.

  3. Q3

    Are you replacing our current systems?

    No. The platform sits across ERP, procurement, document management, HR, carbon tools and BI, and connects them into one governed compliance workflow.

  4. Q4

    Is this a reporting tool or a carbon calculator?

    Neither is the core. Reporting is one output and carbon accounting is one module. The platform manages what has to happen before reliable reporting is possible: collecting and validating evidence, finding gaps, engaging suppliers, assessing risk and assigning remediation.
