How can Sustanya help me with my ESG data?

Sustanya is an easy-to-use helpful tool that will not only collect and store your ESG Data, but also analyze and report it. All the information is compiled on a platform with a simple interface and adapted to the size of companies and sectors, with more than 30 comparable Sustanya indicators for all companies in the CORE version; or 300+ Sustanya specific indicators, plus availability to include 2500+ industry-specific SASB indicators in PREMIUM and PRO versions.

Which data will be collected?

The Sustanya data collection (both CORE and PREMIUM plans) develops along five different Sustainability Dimensions (Environment, Human Capital, Social Capital, Leadership & Governance, and Business Model & Innovation), covering applicable ESG topics. Different ESG topics and associated simple questions will be added to your questionnaire, depending on your subscription plan. These questions will be adapted to your entity’s size and type. You need to reply to the questions with Yes/No, picking options or a number. Questions may vary from general entity information like the number of employees, the existence of an environmental policy in place, to more detailed data like the average number of disabled workers in your entity, or activity data regarding GHG emissions. We created useful tips to explain why each question matters in the context of sustainability and how to calculate the requested values.
