Environmental consulting company BSI and climate software solutions provider Ecometrica have collaborated to introduce Connect Climate, a new tool aimed at simplifying global sustainability reporting for companies. Connect Climate is an expansion of the existing BSI Connect software platform, designed to facilitate real-time data capture and support the growing demand for ESG reporting and greenhouse gas (GHG) management. The data-driven information and workflow platform aids companies in accounting for their sustainability impacts, enabling efficient ESG reporting and GHG emissions management throughout their value chain. The tool offers several key functionalities, including the efficient gathering of business activity information from sites and suppliers, helping companies gain a comprehensive understanding of their entire value chain. Additionally, Connect Climate assists in meeting reporting requirements for Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. It also aids in the development of Carbon Reduction Management Plans and engages suppliers in reducing their GHG emissions. The tool aims to help companies navigate the complexities of ESG reporting and GHG programmes, ensuring compliance with regulatory frameworks such as the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the forthcoming SEC climate rules. “The current global pressures on companies for climate and sustainability disclosures are driving the need for enhanced accuracy and transparency in sustainability impact and risk accounting and reporting,” said Vanessa Boudreau-Sannier, CEO of Ecometrica, North America. “Companies need to ensure their processes and tools can deliver reliable metrics efficiently in order to comply.”
