Problem
Companies and investment funds face increasingly complex ESG reporting requirements across multiple global frameworks, leading to time‑consuming manual data collection, high error rates, and difficulty demonstrating audit‑ready compliance.
Solution
KEY ESG offers a cloud‑based platform that centralises ESG data collection, validation, and reporting for both corporate sustainability teams and fund managers. The system automates metric selection from an extensive library of over 250 pre‑set metrics and supports custom metric creation with Excel‑like flexibility. Integrated AI assists users by generating prompts, detecting anomalies, and auto‑filling text‑based answers, while automated error detection and audit trails ensure data quality and traceability. Built‑in compliance modules map data to major regulations such as SFDR, CSRD, IFRS S1/S2, TCFD, EU Taxonomy and California disclosure laws, keeping reports up‑to‑date as standards evolve. The platform also provides carbon accounting tools with access to 70,000+ verified emission factors and supports Scope 1‑3 calculations using multiple methodologies. Benchmarking, target‑setting, and action‑plan features enable organisations to compare performance against industry peers, set science‑based targets, and track progress over time. Seamless API and ERP integrations reduce manual effort and allow secure data sharing with auditors and stakeholders.
