The proliferation of ESG reporting frameworks, the pressures to set and reach net-zero targets and other climate goals, the need for improved supplier transparency, and increasing regulation have placed immense pressure on organizations and sustainability leaders.
“Data collection complexities, time and resource-intensive reporting cycles, and engaging with stakeholders add further strains to sustainability leaders as organizations work toward their sustainability goals and commitments,” explained Ted Dhillon, CEO and Co-founder, FigBytes. “The latest version of our award-winning platform addresses these challenges and equips organizations with the solutions they need to make positive change for people and the planet. We’ve essentially created a one-stop-shop for organizations to easily manage every aspect of an ESG or sustainability program, all from a single, powerful platform.”
Highlights of FigBytes Sustainability Platform include:
The new Climate Action solution helps organizations easily understand the actions necessary to reduce and neutralize their emissions to achieve their net-zero targets. This highly anticipated module is comprised of two core features: The first feature, Ambition, allows administrators to set net-zero targets, aligned with the SBTi or custom targets. The second feature, Scenario Analysis, forecasts future scenarios to assess net-zero opportunities. FigBytes’ Scenario Analysis feature enables administrators to create scenarios of actions to reduce and/or neutralize emissions. Scenario Analysis also forecasts different scenarios, and the resulting future emissions are visualized on a graph for the set targets, comparing the company’s emissions with scenario emissions.
While some companies track water consumption to meet reporting requirements, the impending water crisis will require more companies to look beyond compliance and become better water stewards, compounding the many data and reporting challenges they already face. In this latest release, the FigBytes Water Stewardship solution assists organizations in determining their water footprints and in understanding their overall impacts beyond water use in their business and with their stakeholders, all from the FigBytes Sustainability Platform.
FigBytes updated its Scope 3 solution to enable data capture at the supplier level for all fifteen Scope 3 categories, which helps to provide better supplier insights. The solution assists organizations in accurately accounting Scope 3 emissions and other relevant ESG data by facilitating data gathering from suppliers and service providers through surveys and providing the ability to use self-serve analytics to build dashboards.
The platform includes updated, pre-defined configurations for GRI (Global Reporting Initiative), GRESB (Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark), and BRSR (Business Responsibility and Sustainability). Together with the existing pre-programed frameworks for CDP, SASB, TCFD, ISSB, PRI and more, the platform’s flexible framework report builder offers a comprehensive set of templates to produce any voluntary or mandatory disclosure report.
FigBytes Sustainability Platform has been successfully migrated to Microsoft Azure Cloud. Customers benefit from the FigBytes award-winning Sustainability Platform now hosted on the highly secure, scalable, and reliable world-class Azure cloud infrastructure.
Through the platform’s integration with carbon removal leader Patch, FigBytes customers can now purchase, track, and report on their carbon credit transactions all from within FigBytes Sustainability Platform. This ensures carbon credit transactions are managed as part of an organization’s comprehensive carbon emissions reduction strategy.
