Sustainable organizations are gaining competitive advantage. Yet, the journey to sustainability has hurdles at every stage. Two of the most pressing challenges? Data and reporting!

Our sustainability offering consists of 4 building blocks:
Our business consultants can help you kick off your sustainability journey, by making your strategy and vision tangible. In a short series of workshops, we assess your sustainability maturity, help you define the stakeholders, conduct a materiality assessment, and develop a roadmap.
Do you already have a double materiality matrix in place? In that case, we can help you embed sustainability in your entire company by tackling all the specific challenges per department. Together, we will define solutions for each of your challenges and analyze the efforts needed to resolve them. In this way, you will gain useful insights into the possible steps to steer your sustainability strategy forward.
As data and analytics experts, we help organizations bring their sustainability strategy to life. Our sustainability data approach – ‘Green data lake approach’ – consists of 3 steps:
We help you pinpoint data gaps, verify the quality of the available data, and identify the data sources in- and outside your company (ERP systems, other applications, electricity bills, Excel sheets, …). More than that, we can also take care of data governance and describe how data is best delivered.
We map the required data in your landscape, determine the required data architecture, then let automation extract, upload, process, and integrate the data for you. So that you save time and money, while enhancing accuracy.
We turn your existing data infrastructure into a modern data platform. Built around a scalable, cost-effective data lake, the platform will ingest the raw data, unlock it and store it, ready to be turned into actionable insights.
Complete, high-quality data is only the first step in monitoring your sustainability performance and making informed decisions. To determine and track your ESG targets and report transparently, you need the right reporting and calculation tools and be able to integrate them into your existing IT landscape.
We can help you boost visibility and transparency, both inhouse and externally, and ensure compliance with reporting frameworks and standards, providing solutions to:
All our ecosystems have different solutions that can help you to report and calculate the different ESG topics.
