ESG ON

Solution overview

ESG ON is a modular SaaS platform for ESG reporting and green transition management, hosted on Microsoft Azure in European data centres. It addresses three core problems: the complexity of ESG data collection, the lack of structured compliance workflows, and the prohibitive cost of manual consulting. The platform covers the full reporting spectrum - CSRD/ESRS compliance for large enterprises, VSME reporting for SMEs, product carbon footprint (PCF) and corporate carbon footprint (CCF) . Its built-in AI assistant, Tera, automates data entry and external questionnaire completion (EcoVadis, CDP, bank ESG forms). Target users are sustainability managers, CFOs/CEOs under regulatory pressure, and IT managers evaluating enterprise software.

Key features

ESG ON differentiates on four dimensions. - First, modularity: companies purchase only the modules they need, from a standalone product carbon footprint (PCF) and/or corporate carbon footprint (CCF) calculator to a full ESRS compliance suite, avoiding all-or-nothing consulting contracts. - Second, AI-native workflow: the Tera assistant reads internal documents and auto-populates data points and qualitative disclosures, reducing report preparation time by up to 70 %. - Third, output readiness: the platform generates audit-ready reports in XHTML and allows iXBRL tagging. - Fourth, methodology credibility: the core DMA and CCF modules are undergoing independent verification by IRDO and SGS, providing assurance that the underlying methodology meets ISO 14064 and CSRD/ESRS standards.

Integration and adaptability in manufacturing environments

ESG ON integrates with existing ERP systems and allows MCP servers for AI applications. Integration is configured on a case-by-case basis depending on the client''s infrastructure. As a pure SaaS solution hosted on Microsoft Azure, no on-premise installation is required, minimising the IT burden. The platform supports manufacturing-specific customisation through configurable data scopes, multi-entity consolidation for holding structures, and sector-relevant emission factor sets. The modular design means manufacturers can start with CCF or PCF and expand incrementally as reporting obligations grow.

Implementation support and training for manufacturers

Every module includes dedicated onboarding hours with the ESG ON expert team, depending on complexity, delivered remotely or on-site. Packages also include bundled advisory days - 6 to 10 days per year depending on the tier - covering methodology questions, ESRS interpretation, and audit preparation. Post-implementation support is available for ad-hoc expert consultation. The AI assistant Tera provides in-platform guidance throughout the reporting workflow. All clients benefit from continuous platform updates as standards evolve.

Sustainability, compliance and certifications in the EU

ESG ON is aligned with the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), including ESRS E1-E5, S1-S4, G1, and the VSME standard for SMEs. The CCF module follows ISO 14064 for organisational greenhouse gas accounting, and the PCF module is built on ISO 14040/14044 (LCA methodology). The core DMA and CCF modules are undergoing independent verification by IRDO and SGS. The platform infrastructure meets ISO 27001, EU GDPR, SOC 2 Type 2, EN 301 549, and the EU Cloud Code of Conduct, with all data processed exclusively in European Microsoft Azure data centres.

ROI & Costs

Expected return on investment (ROI)

For manufacturing companies subject to CSRD/ESRS reporting obligations, the primary ROI driver is cost avoidance: replacing fragmented manual processes and external consulting with a structured SaaS platform. ESG ON is positioned at 20-30 % lower TCO than comparable foreign solutions. A secondary driver is productivity recovery - companies report spending 3-5 days per year on ESG questionnaires alone; Tera automates this, and report preparation time is reduced by up to 70 % compared to manual workflows. For manufacturers in automotive and industrial supply chains, ESG compliance is increasingly a condition for retaining B2B contracts, making the platform an enabler of revenue protection, not merely a compliance cost.

Cost overview: implementation and ongoing expenses

Annual licence fees range from €9,550 (VSME Basic, SMEs) to €30,400 (ESRS Pro, large enterprises), with optional advisory days. All packages include onboarding hours and platform updates. No hardware or on-premise infrastructure costs apply.
