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.
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.
The reporting process for ESG and sustainability typically involves the following steps: data collection, metric calculation, data analysis, report generation, and report dissemination. The data collection process involves gathering relevant ESG data from internal and external sources, while the data analysis process involves evaluating and interpreting the data to understand the company's ESG performance. The report generation process involves creating a report based on industry-leading standards and prevailing ESG regulations, while the report dissemination process involves sharing the report with stakeholders.
The short answer is yes, KEY ESG software follows cybersecurity best practices to keep your data secured. KEY ESG uses encryption at multiple layers in the platform, we leverage managed services which provide high levels of security using their default security controls. Traffic in-transit is secured with HTTPS. Requests are encrypted between the customer and an application load balancer, which will decrypt the request and forward it onto our application servers which are hosted in a private virtual cloud network in AWS.
In-transit traffic between our application servers and Azure is secured with SSL/TLS and the data itself is encrypted at-rest which also includes backups and temporary files created when running queries.
KEY ESG is an online, cloud-based software that you can access anytime, anywhere. First time users have direct access to an industry ESG benchmark and a self-guided ESG baseline assessment. After completing the assessment – which can be done in just a few hours – a unique KEY ESG report will be generated. This can be downloaded as a PDF.
The report shows you your company’s ESG baseline performance in comparison with industry peers across a set of ESG metrics. Informed by your company’s relative performance, the report outlines tailor-made recommendations on how you can improve your ESG outcomes. Furthermore, the ready-to-print report can be used to effectively communicate your company’s ESG performance to external and internal stakeholders.
After completing the initial baseline, the cloud-based software can be accessed at any point to generate additional ESG assessments, so that you can track your company’s ESG performance over time. Because the software is cloud-based, we also ensure that the ESG performance of your peers is updated in real-time, so that you always have access to the most up-to-date ESG information.
