ESG data management solutions
Most reporting pain is a data logistics problem. Sixty spreadsheets, four versions of each, and a month of chasing site managers. We replace that with a structured collection process and a dashboard that shows you where the gaps are while there is still time to fix them.
What breaks in a spreadsheet process
Emailed workbooks fail predictably: units get changed, formulas get overwritten, one site reports a calendar year while another reports a fiscal year, and nobody can reconstruct who entered a figure or when. By the time the report is drafted, half the effort has gone into reconciliation rather than analysis — and the audit trail an assurance provider would want does not exist.
What we put in place
- A data collection application configured to your entities, sites, metrics and reporting calendar
- Built-in validation, unit control and completeness checks at the point of entry
- A monitoring dashboard showing submission status and performance across the group
- User roles and approval workflow, so preparation and review are separated and recorded
- A retained audit trail of entries, changes and approvals
- Multi-year comparatives held in one place, so restatements are traceable
- Bilingual interfaces for sites where English is not the working language
Security and confidentiality
ESG data touches operational, HR and sometimes commercially sensitive information. Access is role-based and scoped so a site only sees its own data, and we will work through your IT and information security requirements before deployment. We are happy to complete your vendor security assessment.
This is also where consultant dependency ends. The data belongs to you, sits in a system you can operate, and does not have to be reassembled from scratch — or from your advisor's private files — the following year.
What the engagement includes
- Requirements mapping across entities, sites and metrics
- Application configuration and reporting calendar setup
- Validation rules and completeness checks
- Monitoring dashboard for management oversight
- Role-based access and approval workflow
- Audit trail and version history
- Site-level user training in English and Chinese
- Handover documentation and ongoing support
Who this is for
Multi-site and multi-entity groups; companies whose reporting cycle is dominated by data chasing; issuers preparing for assurance; groups whose ESG data currently lives with a departing employee or an external consultant.

Do we have to use your platform, or can you work with our systems?
Either. Where you already have an ERP, utility management or HR system holding relevant data, the better answer is usually to draw from it rather than duplicate entry. We look at what exists before proposing anything new.
Who owns the data?
You do, in full, in a structured exportable form. We think consultant lock-in around your own operating data is indefensible.
