ESG Management / CSRD / ESRS with HITGuard
Implementing ESG in a Structured Way—From Dual Materiality to Reporting.
With HITGuard, you can identify impacts, risks, and opportunities, evaluate them systematically, and translate ESG issues into actions, controls, and reports.
ESG requirements are increasing—and implementation is becoming more complex
With CSRD and ESRS, the requirements for companies are increasing significantly. ESG is no longer just reporting, but a structured management process with clear requirements regarding data, responsibilities, assessment, actions, and traceability.
In practice, however, ESG data is often scattered across departments, spreadsheets, documents, and emails. Assessments are inconsistent, supporting documentation is hard to find, and it takes a great deal of effort to track progress on initiatives.
