Making Dollars and Sense of Sustainability
Why Prodigii?
The Problem
Businesses Need to Leverage Technology and Consulting Support to Drive Maturation and Implementation of ESG Strategies
As reporting shifts from voluntary to mandatory, and organizations look to establish more mature ESG strategies, both corporates and investors need to take deliberate steps such as investing in technologies and third-party support to ensure sufficient levels of compliance, as well as successful implementation of more complex elements of sustainability.
Although sustainability has now become intertwined in the work of many different business functions, most organizations still have relatively small dedicated ESG teams. They also face significant challenges related to the collection, management, and use of sustainability data for reporting.
The Roadblock to Sustainability: Data
The main obstacle to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) is data. ESG needs more data from more sources than organizations usually collect. Many organizations have analytics engines that can handle structured and unstructured data, but few have systems specifically for ESG data. This means that while the need for ESG data is growing, getting it quickly is a problem. The main challenges are limited data availability, isolated data management methods, and difficulty processing complex and unstructured data. Industry benchmarks, data normalization, metrics, and calculations also differ greatly, which makes modeling difficult and complicates clear and consistent reporting by business teams.
Current Tools Just Don't Cut It!
Most BI Tools are Stuck in the Past | APPLYING ADVANCED DATA SCIENCE TECHNIQUES TO SUSTAINABILITY IS COMPLEX |
---|---|
Legacy BI tools often have predefined data models, reports, and dashboards that are hard to customize and modify to provide useful information. | Requires extensive knowledge of ESG accounting and disclosure frameworks, analytical models and use cases to enable strategy and sustainability performance. |
Legacy BI tools often have poor performance and scalability issues and cannot scale to the millions of records needed to manage ESG performance. | Knowledge graphing databases requires explicit knowledge to code and develop A.I. analytical models. |
Legacy BI tools are costly to maintain, requiring constant updates and patches to keep up with the changing data sources and business need. | Complex and ineffecient workflow integration with multiple systems make them ineffecient and difficult to scale. |
Forthcoming Mandatory Disclosures Require Businesses to Step Up Their Strategy and ESG Data Quality Now
Without a Modern Business Sustainability Intelligence Solution
Users wait for data experts to prepare and share reports needed to monitize sustainability
Without the use of semantic metadata and normalization you miss out on opportunities to make sense of sustainability data
Its impossible to gain real time understanding of important ESG metrics
Collaborating across internal and external teams to innovate solutions to problems in sustainability is very difficult

Sustainability Without Sacrificing Value.
Turn Data into Answers, Faster
Prodigii unlocks the potential of your data by turning raw records into highly attractive, visual and interactive graphics and information in a way that makes it cost effective to integrate sustainability into your day-to-day decision making.
Quadruple Efficiency in Data Utilization, While Cutting Human-Driven Data Management Tasks in Half.
The only database whose form aligns with the function of providing answers to relationship-based questions is the graph database.
Graph databases are flexible and agile whereas other databases are structured but rigid. The easiest way to think of a graph database is to think of it as a database of connections.
Data virtualization is a key component of a data fabric. It allows business technologists to access and work with data from various sources without physically moving or duplicating the data. Graph databases are, by definition, a way to connect disparate datasets which are prevalent in every company, and then to efficiently facilitate connecting proprietary data with public domain and third-party datasets
Easily Explore the Links between ESG and Shareholder Value
ESG issues plainly cover a wide variety of topics, making it challenging for companies to understand and prioritize key issues. Some companies are not able to take decisive action and may try to address ESG issues through incremental steps, which leaves them lagging their peers. Other companies may fail to receive stakeholder recognition despite significant efforts.
This means that ESG needs to be managed, with the same global perspective and with the same level of care that you now apply to the applications of FASB and / or IASB standards.
Transforming Data into Decisions
At Prodigii, we understand that ESG standards provide the frameworks is needed to transform data into decisions. Connected information is certain to generate better insight and intelligence, faster. This is even more true if decisions are made using data that already meets with the latest in global standards.
Our Frameworks
- International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
- S1: General Disclosure
- Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (the SASB)
- S2: Climate
- Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD)
- Value Reporting Foundation on Integrated Thinking
- Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG) - universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and improve the lives and prospects of everyone, everywhere.
- World Economic Forum Stakeholder Reporting Framework – aligns IFRS Sustainability standards with the SDGs.
- The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO)
- Internal Control Over Sustainability Reporting
- AICPA SOC 2, Level 2 framework
Each of these frameworks is embedded into the Prodigii BI™ platform. Automating the production of ESG metrics and information is a central component of Prodigii’s strategy to quadruple efficiency in data utilization, while at the same time cutting human-driven data management tasks in half. Collectively, these standards also provide reasonable assurances to stakeholders and regulatory authorities that your organization is operating ethically, transparently and in accordance with established industry standards and best practices.
Embedding these standards into Prodigii BI is just one more way we help you to make dollars and sense of sustainability.
Save Time and Create New Value from Compliance Data
Companies can no longer avoid reporting on their ESG performance. The expense of compliance is already large and is growing every day. A typical company may need to link thousands or even millions of related internal data points from across the enterprise just to meet these requirements
For example, our analysis indicates the typical cost of complying with the SEC’s new GHG disclosure requirements can range from approximately $600 thousand (SEC estimates) to a high of as much as $2.3 million for companies having heavy Greenhouse Gas Emission (GHG) (Prodigii Analysis) risk exposure, such as chemicals, energy, transport, construction, agriculture and land use.
And, as shown in the accompanying summary illustration, companies operating internationally face even higher data and analysis costs and complexities in meeting ESG related compliance requirements.
Prodigii uses data to take you beyond compliance reporting by searching for meaning from compliance data in several ways.
Turn compliance into an Asset
Compliance and audit can transform the way they interact with the business, turning them into a partnership that works together to find solutions to pervasive compliance problems. By harnessing available data, sustainability compliance becomes a proactive, nimble, and cost-efficient function.
Create new sources of shared knowledge
Real time compliance analytics can be shared, and the resulting knowledge gains can become exponential providing valuable business insights. These insights can be used to make informed decisions, identify trends, and uncover hidden patterns of opportunity.
Unleash network effects in compliance
Automated data collection and report generation can enhance the speed, accuracy, and efficiency of the process. It also helps in standardizing the reporting practices across all departments

Business leaders need to better anticipate the developing trends and uncertainties in social, environmental, and business dimensions. The future must be understood as being essentially driven by sustainability. Organizations need new tools that enable formulation of a holistic, systematic perspective on business sustainability. This perspective must reflect all critical challenges ranging from the environmental, social (for example, in terms of quality of life, equality, diversity, social cohesion, democracy, and governance), and even economic (in the context of industry, innovation and infrastructure, responsible production and consumption, clean energy, or paths of economic development). It must also link them together in a set of interdependent elements that impact upon one another. Issues in Sustainability are interconnected and cannot be effectively addressed in isolation.
