ESG Reporting
Many companies in supplying countries are just beginning their sustainability journey and may feel overwhelmed by the potential costs and complexity of full-scale reporting requirements like the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). At ESGWINGS, we understand that not everyone is ready—or required—to dive into comprehensive reporting right away
We offer flexible ESG reporting services, ranging from basic ESG light packages for beginners to more detailed, CSRD-compliant reports, depending on your needs, goals, and budget. For companies that aim to improve sustainability and gain a competitive edge, ESG light offers a simple, affordable way to start. And for larger non-EU companies, who won’t be required to comply with CSRD until 2029, our tailored solutions ensure you're on track without unnecessary efforts and
Whether you’re looking to meet basic expectations or planning for future regulatory compliance, we can help you develop a reporting approach that suits your current ambitions and resources.The outcomes of an ESG light project can be seamlessly expanded into a full-scale ESG strategy in the future.
Data Collection and Compliance
Data Collection
Reducing environmental and social impact begins with understanding the key metrics. Gathering data on processes, materials, energy inputs/outputs, and social factors like employee and community wellbeing provides valuable insight into your supply chain—or a specific part of it.
Many European companies struggle to collect this data from distant suppliers, especially when operating across different cultures and business structures. Yet, these insights are critical to their ESG strategies, as suppliers often account for 70-95% of a company’s total impact.
Our local teams facilitate precise, targeted data collection, supporting both producers and buyers in bridging the gap and ensuring smoother, more effective ESG integration.
