ESG DATA provides insights beyond risk and compliance
ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) is built upon the three intertwined pillars of the economy. The E represents materials and energy that are extracted from the natural environment. The S stands for labour, suppliers, and clients, and the G for decision-making structures.
Again, to make it simple: in the economy, we (S) extract materials and energy (E), add energy to the materials in different processes, and try to make a living (G) out of that. All of this happens in a variety of value chains that produce food, housing, mobility, and other goods.
All of these processes are or can be captured in data. At OpenESGDATA.org, we call this data ESG DATA. With ESG DATA, you can analyse the soundness of economic activities at micro, meso, and macro levels. The micro level of the economy can be found in a single business, the meso level can represent regional industries, and the macro level could represent the global economy.
ESG DATA can be used for business transformation. We provide a free and accessible handbook at www.esgtransformation.com.
Why ESG DATA might be interesting for you
If you are a business owner and you wish to better understand what business opportunities sustainable development can offer, ESG DATA is your friend. ESG DATA can identify pains and gains that financial data is not capable of. It can be a true source of innovation with regards to the business model, the primary process, people and culture, forecasting, and even your daily decision-making process.
OpenESGDATA.org is your go-to source of ESG DATA if your organisation is missing the knowledge or a mature information landscape.
Why an Open Protocol
An Open Protocol means that OpenESGDATA.org aims to offer full transparency in how ESG DATA is collected, predicted, enriched, assessed, and stored. Second to that, OpenESGDATA.org offers open access to obtain a free ESG DATA Profile for your organisation, which you can use to generate business intelligence.
Open Source Technology
The digital technology to develop the OpenESGDATA.org online ecosystem is open source. At this early development stage (October 1st 2025) we built upon Joomla and Laravel frameworks to develop the first stages of the ecosystem. In the next few months release notifications and collaboration opportunities will be shared with our followers.
