Our set of metrics covers all major ESG frameworks and regulations. Our software automatically selects the relevant metrics for each framework, applies the correct methodology and generates the reports you need to comply. The metric library is constantly updated as regulations evolve so you can rest assured that you're complying with the latest standards. SFDR, CSRD, IFRS, TCFD, EDCI... you name it, we cater for it.
SFDR seeks to increase transparency in sustainable investment by setting out the obligations for providers of financial products and financial advisers towards end-investors. It applies to all Financial Market Participants marketing their products to EU-based investors. KEY ESG's software includes SFDR metrics for both investee companies and real estate.
CSRD requires listed and large EU-based companies as well as companies with a significant presence in the EU to report on an extended number of ESG metrics. Companies will be required to complete a double materiality assessment before being asked to report on a more tailored set of metrics. Data collected will be subject to third-party auditing and assurance processes. KEY ESG's software addresses all the reporting requirements and metrics of CSRD to simplify the compliance process.
The EDCI is the first-ever private equity industry collaboration. Launched in 2021 by a group of leading GPs and LPs, the EDCI is a voluntary reporting framework governed by industry experts, all united by their shared desire to drive convergence around meaningful ESG metrics and develop better reporting processes. KEY ESG is a tech partner of the EDCI and can stream our member clients' data directly into the EDCI platform for simplified reporting. KEY ESG is also able to provide benchmark data published by the EDCI directly in the app.
In the summer of 2023 the IFRS S1 and S2 were published by the International Sustainability Standards Board and adopted by G20 countries. This set of standards is the first globally recognised framework and is a landmark for the harmonisation of ESG reporting. KEY ESG supports all efforts to simplify and improve global ESG regulation and caters to IFRS S1 and S2 requirements.
The EU Taxonomy is a detailed legislative classification system that provides a common language for European sustainable finance regulations, including SFDR. It takes action to tackle greenwashing in European markets and beyond and allows managers to make direct comparisons on environmental performance across a range of asset classes and regulations. KEY ESG collects, reports and improves ESG processes in line with EU Taxonomy classifications.
The Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure promotes transparency to drive better-informed capital allocation. Its set of metrics helps investors, public companies and other stakeholders disclose climate-related risks and opportunities. TCFD reporting is mandatory in a number of countries and aligns very closely with IFRS. KEY ESG's platform supports both IFRS and TCFD reporting frameworks.

“KEY ESG enabled our team to produce our first ESG report within one month. Their software enabled our team to quickly cover the ESG basics and contextualize our ESG performance for internal management as well as external stakeholder communication purposes.”
"Our portfolio companies love how easy to use the platform is and have already mentioned they want to use it for their own internal ESG processes."
KEY ESG keeps track of global ESG regulatory developments. We have incorporated major ESG regulations such as the SFDR, CSRD, SEC and SRD in our reporting software tool and help our users measure and report metrics they need to disclose to regulators. Our users can rest assured that we update these metrics as new regulatory requirements or changes to existing requirements are announced.
KEY ESG's software provides comprehensive risk management tools to help companies identify and assess ESG risks, and track their progress in mitigating those risks over time. Our software also helps companies understand the potential impact of ESG risks on their sustainability performance, and provides insights to help them make informed decisions.
ESG reporting refers to the process of evaluating and communicating a company's performance on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics. This process helps companies measure and manage their ESG impact, communicate their sustainability story to stakeholders, and improve their overall sustainability performance.
Double materiality means that companies are required to assess and disclose information about the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors that can affect the company (internal impacts) as well as the ESG factors that the company, through its activities, products, and services, affects externally (external impacts).
The first phase of companies who need to report on the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) will be required to report their 2024 data in January 2025. That means getting ready now. Companies which are in-scope should start to get a reporting plan and the necessary tools in place to ensure 2024 data collection is structured and seamless.
The aim of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is to enhance the transparency, consistency, and comparability of sustainability reporting by certain companies in the European Union. The CSRD builds upon the existing Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) and seeks to address its limitations by introducing more robust and standardized reporting requirements.
