The benefits to your business

The confidence of audit readiness and compliance

Consultancy services that prepare your business for framework and legislative reporting, including CSRD, giving you the assurance of full compliance capability.

Capture and manage all your ESG data in a single system of record and report with confidence knowing that your data is auditable and finance-grade. All data traced back to source files with an audit record of changes made and data quality represented on dashboards.

The efficiency of automated data capture & GHG calculations

Automates collection and consolidation of more than 700 data types, via data connectors, APIs, SFTP uploads, or individual data file uploads from Excel.

Plus capture data from third-party specialists, as well as distributed manual data from suppliers and third party stakeholders in the form of assessment templates and surveys.

With over 40,000 emissions factors and a factor selection algorithm, you’ll have fully automated GHG calculations:

Factor selection algorithm

The built-in factor selection algorithm automatically cycles through a filtered list of factors to arrive at a match on data type, factor set, region and time period.

Market-based emissions

Envizi automatically manages and applies residual mix factors to grid electricity consumption not already covered by renewable energy certificates.

Add custom and third-party emission factor sets to address your organization’s emissions reporting needs.

The savings of accelerated emissions reduction

Set your energy and emissions-reduction targets and track your performance to accelerate the delivery of your emissions reduction goals.

With all your GHG emissions data available in one place, organizations can easily set different types of targets, including energy, cost, emissions or intensity.

Improved supply chain intelligence with value chain engagement

Engage your suppliers and streamline your Scope 3 – Category 1 emissions calculations to meet reporting requirements and optimise performance.

The portal allows stakeholders to input qualitative and quantitative ESG performance data against your customised survey templates.

It further streamlines the value chain analysis process by eliminating the need for manual data consolidation through email, helping save time and effort.

The efficiency of integrated framework reporting

Report in alignment with external frameworks such as GRI, ESRS, SASB, GRESB, UNSDGs with consolidated questions in an easily exportable format.

Plus integrations with ENERGY STAR® and NABERS for scores and ratings.

Input all data against framework questions within Envizi so you don’t need to access each external reporting framework separately.

Responses can also be reused from previous years and similar responses can be reused across different frameworks.

All in a single portal for value chain stakeholders to report their ESG metrics.

Frequently asked questions

What is business sustainability?

Business sustainability refers to the practice of conducting business operations in a manner that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It involves considering economic, environmental, and social factors in decision-making to achieve long-term success while minimising negative impacts on the planet and society. And crucially it now also involves complying with legislative reporting requirements as governments world-wide set targets for businesses who trade within their national borders.

What are some common sustainability challenges businesses face?

Businesses may encounter challenges such as managing waste and emissions, reducing energy consumption, sourcing sustainable materials, promoting fair labour practices, addressing social inequalities, meeting sustainability reporting requirements, and integrating sustainability principles across the entire value chain

What are some effective strategies for improving business sustainability?

Adopting renewable energy sources and energy-efficient technologies to reduce carbon emissions.

Implementing circular economy principles to minimise waste and promote recycling.

Engaging with suppliers to ensure sustainable sourcing of raw materials.

Investing in employee training and well-being to enhance social sustainability.

Supporting community initiatives and philanthropy to address local needs.

Embracing eco-friendly packaging and sustainable product design.

Integrating sustainability into corporate governance and decision-making processes.

What role does technology play in business sustainability?

Technology plays a crucial role in advancing sustainability solutions. Businesses can leverage data analytics to monitor and optimise their resource usage, use Internet of Things (IoT) devices to track energy consumption, employ artificial intelligence for supply chain optimisation, and utilise blockchain for transparent sourcing. Technology enables businesses to make informed decisions and drive sustainability innovations.

What are some examples of businesses successfully implementing sustainability solutions?

Several businesses have excelled in sustainability, like Patagonia, known for its environmental activism and eco-friendly products, Unilever for its sustainable sourcing and waste reduction efforts, and IKEA for its commitment to renewable energy and circular economy practices.

These examples demonstrate that sustainability can drive business success while benefiting society and the planet.

Remember that business sustainability is an evolving field, and new challenges and solutions may arise over time. Stay informed, adapt, and continue seeking innovative ways to make a positive impact on the environment and society while ensuring the long-term success of your business.
