ESG reporting that actually drives decisions

Collect ESG data without chasing spreadsheets

Pull sustainability data from across your organization into one platform.

Calculate emissions from energy and travel data, track workforce diversity metrics, and store non-financial KPIs alongside your financial data.

Centralized data collection across departments and entities
API-driven integration with ERP and external data sources
Automated emissions calculations (KWh to CO2, distance to CO2)
Reuse existing ERP metadata and structures

Monitor performance in real-time

Interactive dashboards show exactly where you stand against ESG targets. Drill down from high-level UN SDG scorecards to granular metrics. Customizable KPI templates let you track what matters most to your stakeholders, whether that's Scope 1-3 emissions, diversity ratios, or community investment. Real-time visibility replaces quarterly guesswork.

Key Features:

Real-time dashboards with drill-down analytics
UN SDG-aligned KPI scorecards
AI-assisted trend analysis and benchmarking tools
Customizable reporting templates for any ESG framework

Frequently asked questions

How does Unit4 ESG Reporting differ from standalone ESG software?
Unit4 FP&A ESG Reporting helps you track selected environmental, social, and governance metrics alongside financial performance in a single platform. You can connect ESG goals to budget planning and report on both financial and non-financial performance from one system. Please note Unit4 FP&A is not an out-of-the-box solution with pre-populated standards data such as ISSB, CSRD, or GRI. Achieving full regulatory compliance may require a specialist ESG vendor partnership, which Unit4 can support.
How does it automate ESG data collection?
Unit4 ERP integrates directly with your existing systems and external data sources via APIs, automatically pulling sustainability data from across departments. Pre-built conversion calculations such as distance to CO2 and energy consumption to emissions, replace manual spreadsheet work.
Does it support EU Taxonomy compliance?
Unit4 ESG Reporting helps reduce the administrative burden of compliance by automating data collection and providing structured report generation that supports EU Taxonomy workflows. The model includes some other selected calculations and pre-defined business logic (such as KWh, m3, kg CO2, and km conversions) but importantly is not an out-of-the-box solution with pre-populated standards data such as ISSB, CSRD, or GRI. Achieving full regulatory compliance will require a specialist ESG vendor partnership, which Unit4 can support.
Can it support Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions?
Unit4 supports the calculation and collection modeling capabilities and pre-defined conversion logic for areas such as KWh, m3, kg CO2 and km, not full Scope 1,2, or 3 emissions reporting. The platform provides the tools and structure to organize emissions data, but is not an out-of-the-box emissions reporting solution. For full emissions reporting, organizations may benefit from a specialist ESG vendor partnership, which Unit4 can integrate with.
How does ESG integrate with financial planning?
Sustainability data and financial data share the same platform architecture. Finance teams can model the financial impact of ESG initiatives directly within budget and forecast scenarios. ESG KPIs appear side by side with financial metrics in dashboards.
Can we use Unit4 FP&A for regulatory ESG compliance reporting?
Unit4 FP&A supports aspects of your compliance workflows, but it is not a regulatory reporting solution in itself. The model includes basic calculations and some pre-defined business logic, such as conversions for kWh, m³, kg CO₂ and km. It does not come with pre-loaded standards data or built-in alignment with ESG frameworks such as ISSB, CSRD or GRI. Achieving full compliance typically requires data collection and validation through a specialist ESG vendor, which is a process we can support through our partnerships.
