Challenges
ESG strategies need accurate and comprehensive insights to make informed decisions, however often the impact of ESG initiatives is not frequently measured. This results in ESG and business decisions based on assumptions and a limited scope of impacts.
All ESG initiatives to reduce the environmental impact deliver increasingly more data to manage and to report on and puts a further strain on the ESG reporting process.
Based on the insights provided through our reporting solution, you can set ambitious yet realistic targets to reduce your ESG impact.
The solution offers comprehensive real-time tracking of your performance based on new data ingested on the platform. This allows you to make decisions on your ESG strategy in an informed, data-driven way. A project management functionality is added to keep the engagement for ESG projects high.
Terra Reporting Solution
Collaborate
ESG reporting requires collaboration with a large number of internal and external stakeholders. A lot of the required communication to align with all these different stakeholders is manual, making it an expensive and time-consuming activity.
Communication also often happens via many different channels, which makes it very difficult to get a consolidated view. It’s challenging to trace back why certain decisions have been made, making it very difficult to audit the reporting.
Challenges
Microsoft Teams integration across the entire solution, allows every conversation to be linked to the related object in the system, providing full traceability on why certain decisions were made.
Workflow automation across the end-to-end ESG reporting process, allows you to automate high-volume activities, reducing effort and speeding up the process.
Terra Reporting Solution
Govern
ESG reporting requires a lot of (often confidential) data, coming from a very large number of internal and external data sources. Keeping all this data safe and making sure it’s only accessible by the authorized internal and external stakeholders, can become quite a complex undertaking.
The high volume of data and the large number of users require a solution that is built for scale to ensure uptime and performance.
Challenges
Our solution is built on top of the Microsoft Azure platform, which provides out of the box security and data privacy capabilities and is compliant with all relevant regulations.
The Microsoft Azure platform is hosted in data centers all around the world, including Europe. This ensures all data from Europe will be securely stored and managed in Europe only.
