Challenges faced by the India-based logistics client in quantifying their ESG impact
The client grappled with the complexities of their vast geographical presence and complex demerger process and sought to accurately quantify their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) impact. Amidst the uncertainty of initiating carbon emission measurements and the necessity for consistent progress monitoring, the client faced the challenging task of consolidating emission data dispersed among various teams and regions, with millions of entries to sift through. Data quality issues only added to the difficulty. Furthermore, the requirement to align with diverse reporting frameworks, each with distinct stipulations and indicators, added layers of complexity to assembling an all-encompassing ESG report.
GovEVA: A unified solution for ESG management
GovEVA provided a singular platform that allowed the client to measure, track, and report their ESG initiatives across all locations. The platform enabled centralised data management, maintaining data quality and integrity through streamlined processes. One of the key features was the real-time quantification of carbon emissions using standards-based emission calculators, a capability that sets GovEVA apart. Multi-framework reporting was also made easier, facilitated directly on the platform with seamless application programming interface (API) integration.
Outcomes
The successful deployment of the comprehensive platform empowered the client to harness data-driven insights for setting and achieving their ESG targets. This strategic approach fostered seamless alignment for CXOs and board members through intuitive dashboards. Real-time tracking of key metrics and progress parameters enabled them to monitor their ESG journey effectively.
