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.

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.
