How it works:
  1. Record: Actuals instead of averages:

  2. Report: Audit-ready ESG metrics:
    Report regulatory-compliant ESG metrics covering common frameworks (e.g., ESRS) based on an open & extensible solution with the largest ESG ecosystem.
     
  3. Act: ESG embedded in business processes:
    Act by planning your future with actionable insights, setting targets, tracking initiatives, and changing business processes as needed.
