“KEY ESG has made it simple to understand ESG, especially carbon accounting for Scope 1, 2, and 3 reporting. Capturing all the required data for our sustainability reporting was a daunting task at first, but KEY ESG has helped us put a strong process in place and deliver on our goal.”
“We set out originally to improve efficiency at the fund manager level and have been delighted to see efficiency improvements trickle down to the portfolio company level and deliver added value."
"The KEY ESG platform provides us with a centralized view of our ESG data, streamlines data collection and drives ESG engagement across our portfolio companies. It provides a platform which fosters data-driven decision making."
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 we help our users measure and report on the metrics they need to disclose to regulators. KEY ESG users can rest assured that we update these metrics as new regulatory requirements or changes to existing requirements are announced.
KEY ESG’s software uses ESG measurement methodologies as outlined by standard setters, such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). Importantly, our carbon footprint calculators are all in line with the GHG Protocol.
KEY ESG software integrates the industry standard investor frameworks for ESG reporting. This includes, amongst others, the ESG Data Convergence Initiative and the SFDR (Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation). As new regulatory frameworks come into effect, our software will automatically flag updates to users, who can then start using KEY ESG to report under the new rules.
Our focus on industry leading frameworks saves managers time when it comes to reporting, as the market is converging on the topic of ESG measurements.
KEY ESG's software provides a holistic solution for sustainability management, helping companies measure and manage their ESG metrics, manage risk, and communicate their sustainability performance data to stakeholders. Our ESG reporting software also offers real-time updates, data interpretation and visualisation, and ready-to-go reports to help companies understand their sustainability performance and make informed decisions.
KEY ESG's software provides a comprehensive and intuitive solution to the challenges posed by ESG reporting. Our software helps companies automate their ESG data processes, measure their ESG metrics in real-time, track and compare their performance, and generate ready-to-go reports based on industry-leading standards and relevant regulations.
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.
Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions are classifications developed to help organisations understand and categorize their carbon footprint.
Scope 1 emissions are direct greenhouse gas emissions from sources that are owned or controlled by the organisation. This can include emissions from combustion in owned or controlled boilers or furnaces, vehicle emissions, and emissions from refrigeration and air conditioning equipment. Scope 1 emissions are typically the most straightforward to measure and manage, as they stem from sources directly within the company's control.
Scope 2 emissions are indirect emissions associated with the purchase of electricity, steam, heat, or cooling. Although these types of energy are produced off-site, they are considered part of the organisation's footprint because they are a consequence of the firm’s energy use.
Scope 3 emissions are the result of activities from assets not owned or controlled by the reporting organisation, but nevertheless, they are produced as a result of the firm’s indirect impact on its value chain. Scope 3 emissions include a wide range of sources such as the production of purchased materials, transportation of purchased fuels, and use of sold products and services. These emissions are the most difficult to measure and manage due to their indirect nature and the complexity of tracking emissions across a value chain.
KEY ESG enables organisations to calculate Scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon emissions.
We offer comprehensive training sessions, online tutorials, and dedicated customer support to ensure users can effectively utilise the software.
