Bridging The Gap

A simple solution, yet secure and high-tech

  • SMEs in emerging markets take their ESG and impact performance seriously but they lack the systems, resources and tools to produce tangible data. Traditional paper- or MS Office-based document management is difficult to consolidate or cross-reference in a meaningful, timely and traceable way.

  • Most ESG-conscious financiers are craving for real, untampered ESG data from the field.

  • DigiESG was designed to bridge this gap.

Main features

Green Data Lab works with multiple ESG actors (FMO, IBIS, BII and the World Bank) to harmonise ESG indicators and help clients choose which one to collect and report.

  • Pool of ESG Indicators readily available, configured and set up to follow:
    • Guidelines of various regulatory bodies (IFC, UN, AFDB…)
    • Frameworks (Gogla, 2X challenge)
    • DFI recommendations (FMO, BII…)
  • Client-specific KPI added on demand
  • Bindable to specific sites, projects or users
  • Measured or auto-calculated
  • Integrated to generated reports

Data can be collected from a web browser or its dedicated mobile app:

  • The mobile app does not require Internet access when collecting data. Data will be synchronised with digiESG server when the device is back online and on request from the user. It allows the user to verify the data before sending it to the server without the eventual pressure from being in the field.
  • The web browser is needed to access collected data. Validation, analysis, auditing, reporting and exporting data can only be done from the digiESG platform.

Various forms and workflows are available for collection:

  • Daily ESG Reporting via mobile and digiESG
  • Monthly ESG Reporting via mobile and digiESG
  • Incident Reporting via mobile and digiESG
  • Grievance Reporting via mobile, digiESG and public web forms
  • Custom forms (managed by client) reporting via mobile, webapp and public web forms
  • Community Visit Reporting via digiESG
  • Optional modules (HR, Stock, CRM…)
  • Ad-hoc integration to 3rd party (on request)
