The Unit4 FP&A solution is designed to assist organizations in analyzing and reporting their ESG data. It supports compliance and regulatory reporting. The model includes
calculations and business logic (such as KWh, m3, kg CO2 and km conversions) but is not an out of the box solution including standards data for GRI, TFCD, SASB
or IFRS S1 and S2. This requires the collection of data and a vendor partnership, which we can support.
Prepare your organization for mandatory ESG reporting
With mandatory environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting standards coming into effect from 2024 onwards, the need to digitally transform to meet regulatory obligations more efficiently is more pressing than ever.
ESG reporting attempts to capture in a structured way the potential impacts that environmental and social factors may have on the financial sustainability of an organization. It also quantifies the impacts that an organization itself may have on people; the planet; and the economy.
