ESG Community
Many organisations want to work more responsibly and use data to support decisions and reporting. In reality, this work is often spread across teams, documents and tools. Definitions differ, information lives in different places, and the same questions come back in every discussion.
The platform is shaped by our community. A free, open, and diverse network of organisations, advisors and professionals who actively work with data, reporting and responsible business practices.
Responsible business should not depend on budget or access to tools. It should be part of how organisations manage, decide and report. That only works when knowledge, data and technology are understandable and open to everyone.
We build software, documents and learning modules based on real use cases. Organisations and advisors apply them in practice, share feedback, and identify gaps. That input directly shapes new resources, updates existing tools and improves clarity across the platform.
This creates a practical feedback loop; an open ecosystem that becomes more useful the more it is used.
