The Problem
Manual ESG reporting is a structural liability — not just an inconvenience.
Ask any sustainability manager at a Kenyan listed company, bank, or DFI-funded project how they collect ESG data. The answer is almost always the same: email requests to department heads, spreadsheets that don't talk to each other, and weeks of manual reconciliation before each report deadline.
When sustainability teams spend most of their time on data collection rather than analysis, the strategic value of ESG measurement is never realised. Errors compound. Version control breaks down. And when a DFI lender requests mid-year performance data against covenant metrics, there's no fast or confident way to respond.
Reduction in reporting time
By automating the most labour-intensive steps in the ESG data cycle.
Frameworks from one dataset
GRI, SASB, TCFD, IFC PS, CMA disclosures — mapped simultaneously, no re-entry.
Faster data collection
Smart workflows replace email-based data chasing with structured, validated inputs.
Who It's For
Built for organisations with real reporting obligations.
The platform is used by sustainability leads, CFOs, and compliance teams across Kenya and East Africa who are managing mandatory reporting requirements and need an infrastructure that keeps pace with a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape.
NSE-listed companies
Meeting the CMA Code, NSE ESG Guidance Manual disclosures, and the forthcoming CMA ESG Code aligned with IFRS S1 and S2.
Commercial banks
CBK climate risk reporting, Kenya Green Finance Taxonomy alignment, and TCFD disclosure — from a single data infrastructure.
DFI-funded project developers
IFC Performance Standards monitoring, lender covenant reporting, and annual E&S performance data — structured for DFI audit.
Multinationals with East African operations
CSRD value-chain reporting, SFDR data requests, and parent-company ESG data submissions — collected at source.
In the Platform
Designed to make complex data simple.
01 — Reporting
Multi-framework ESG reports
GRI, SASB, TCFD, and CMA disclosures generated from one verified dataset — ready for investor submission, lender reporting, and regulatory filing.
02 — Emissions
Integrated GHG calculator
Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions calculated from activity data — with emission factors for Kenya and East Africa built in. IFRS S2-ready from day one.
Platform Capabilities
What the platform actually does.
Smart data capture
Automated collection from operational systems, utility providers, HR platforms, and supply chain partners — with built-in validation to flag anomalies before they reach the report.
Multi-framework reporting
A single dataset mapped simultaneously to GRI, SASB, TCFD, IFC Performance Standards, and CMA disclosures. No re-entering data for each framework.
Real-time dashboards
Interactive performance views for sustainability managers and board committees — enabling proactive management, not just retrospective reporting.
Compliance deadline tracking
Automated monitoring of regulatory reporting deadlines across multiple jurisdictions — CBK, CMA, NSE, and international lender requirements.
Mobile data collection
Field-based data entry designed for low-bandwidth environments. Collect from remote sites, agricultural operations, and supply chain partners without office infrastructure.
Audit trail & version control
Every input logged, timestamped, and attributed. Third-party assurance-ready from day one — and required for credible disclosure under IFRS S2 and the CMA ESG Code.
Why It's Different
Built for Africa.
Not adapted from somewhere else.
Every decision in the platform reflects how East African organisations actually operate — mobile-first data capture for field teams, pre-mapped local regulatory requirements across CMA, CBK, NSE, and NEMA, and workflows designed around the data realities of this market, not another one.
East African regulatory frameworks pre-mapped in the platform
Local regulatory alignment
Pre-mapped to CMA, NSE, CBK, and NEMA reporting requirements — not just international frameworks that happen to be referenced in Kenya.
Paper-based supplier integration
Data collection workflows that accommodate supplier data in paper or informal formats — a reality in East African supply chains that most platforms ignore.
Mobile-first architecture
Designed for field teams collecting data in remote or low-connectivity environments across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and beyond.
EAC regulatory awareness
Built to evolve with the East African regulatory landscape — including the Kenya Green Finance Taxonomy, forthcoming CMA ESG Code, and Carbon Markets framework.
