What is the ESG Tracker?

The ESG Tracker is an online survey and scorecard that empowers companies and investors to assess, track, and improve their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance and impact in line with leading global standards. 

The ESG Tracker reduces time and costs, avoids common pitfalls, and improves the business value of adopting more sustainable practices.

Our eight modules capture and score essential aspects of ESG performance.

How does it work?

The ESG Tracker survey contains around 200 questions that address the ESG topics covered by leading international frameworks used by investors.

We have tailored our questions and scoring to help you understand how you are managing the most important ESG issues for your business and sector. 

To get started, contact us to arrange a demo and select a package that works for you. 

We will create a profile for your organisation and send you a welcome email with instructions. 

Once you’re set up, you can log in to complete the survey. You can also invite colleagues to help you complete specific sections.

As you complete the survey, you are invited to upload files. This will save you time and effort when we verify your information.

Once you’re done, click “submit” and we will get in touch to request additional documentation (if needed) and interviews with staff to verify your responses. 

You may opt for us to do a site visit to add greater credibility and depth to the analysis.

Once we’ve completed our analysis, we share a comprehensive report and action plan with you. We can then work with you to begin improving performance over time. 

Our modular scoring is a simple and intuitive way for you to interpret your ESG performance and develop targeted action plans

How to use your ESG report

You will receive an ESG report that you can use to

  • Guide internal strategy to improve your performance
  • Differentiate yourself in the market through innovation
  • Engage with potential investors and finance providers
  • Communicate with stakeholders
  • Add to marketing material to boost your reputation

Alignment with international standards

The ESG Tracker is a practical tool aligned with leading international sustainability frameworks, such as the IFC Performance Standards, UN Global Compact, Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, Global Reporting Initiative, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the Operating Principles for Impact Management, among others.

In developing our methodology, we identified the core approaches and ESG priorities featured in the leading frameworks used by investors. We combined these in an accessible tool for smaller businesses that don’t have extensive teams and resources to manage their sustainability performance. The ESG Tracker guides you through a process to identify risk and then turn this into opportunity. Your results can be used when you report under a variety of other frameworks and ESG tools.
