Report sustainability with the rigour of a financial statement
Sustainability reporting automation applies financial-grade controls to ESG data: metrics collected from operational systems, every disclosed figure evidenced for assurance.
Sustainability data is collected once a year by email, transformed in untracked spreadsheets and published without the lineage an assurance provider now expects — so the first audit turns into an archaeology project.
The problem: ESG data with no chain of custody
02Three gaps that surface the moment assurance arrives.
Survey sprawl
Site and supplier data arrives as free-form spreadsheets, each with its own units, periods and definitions.
No lineage to source
Published figures cannot be traced back to a meter reading, an invoice or a factor, so assurance stalls on evidence requests.
Standards that keep moving
CSRD, ISSB and local rules change scope and taxonomy faster than a hand-built reporting process can absorb.
The solution: DECIMA sustainability reporting automation
03DECIMA applies the financial reporting discipline your ESG disclosure is now judged by.
Normalised units and factors
Consumption, emissions factors and periods are converted into one model, so sites and suppliers become comparable.
Evidence behind every figure
Each disclosed number keeps a link to its source record and calculation, ready for the assurance provider's sample.
Mapped to the frameworks
One data set maps to CSRD, ISSB and voluntary frameworks, so a standard change is a remap rather than a rewrite.
How Sustainability Management runs on the engine
04Five stages that run continuously — not a quarterly scramble reassembled by hand.
- 01
Ingest
Governed connectors pull ledgers, sub-ledgers and source systems into the engine, with every field traced back to where it came from.
- 02
Model
The engine maps accounts, entities and disclosure requirements for Sustainability Management into one live model instead of a set of linked files.
- 03
Draft
Narrative, tables and tagging are generated from the model, so a change in the numbers rewrites the output rather than the reverse.
- 04
Validate
Rule checks, tie-outs and control tests run inline as the draft forms, flagging breaks at the point they appear.
- 05
Sign off
Reviews, approvals and evidence are captured as work happens, so the audit trail for Sustainability Management is complete the moment you file.
What changes
05The measurable difference once Sustainability Management stops being a manual assembly job.
- 01
Sustainability figures carry the same lineage as financial figures, so assurance samples are answered from the system.
- 02
Site, supplier and entity data is normalised once, ending the annual scramble to make units and periods agree.
- 03
A framework or taxonomy change is absorbed centrally instead of reopening every disclosure.
