Global exchange for how-to deliver decision-useful sustainability information
Making scarce expertise accessible through global collaboration as a public good
Special webinar: CSRD Compliance
linked to strategy and long term (sustainable) performance
CSRD mandates large companies to publish assured sustainability reports from 2025. Investors, regulators, and society at large are expected to respond to the ESG data provided in the reports as an indicator for the likelihood of sustainable performance over the longer term. A good ESG story in your (audited) sustainability statement will have a direct bearing on your cost of capital. And with effect from 2025 we expect to see further evidence of how more capital is being attracted to sustainable economic activities.
There is insufficient access to expertise to respond to the global demand for
decision-useful
sustainability information
in the timeframes needed to mitigate existential impacts.
We are solving this problem, by
building capacity quickly,
and at scale,
with tech enabled (AI accelerated),
How-To Playbooks and certifications as
Capacity Building Units.
We continually curate know how using crowdsourcing (Wiki) to rapidly evolve
international best practice for international access and use.

Mandatory sustainability reporting is new
for most organisations around the world.
On the front-line for this task
will be reporting officers.
Many aren’t prepared
> They don’t know how to compile reports
> They don’t know how to secure data
