Sustainability is no longer a file for later. Customers, financiers, supply chain partners and employees want to know today what you stand for. Transparency about your impact on people, the environment and society is increasingly becoming an access ticket to markets, relationships and capital. Yet it remains a struggle for many organizations: how do you structure your ESG approach? How do you back up your story with data? And how do you show that you are ready for whatever comes next - VSME, ESRS or new supply chain requirements?
Planet Yes offers a software solution that helps companies build an ESG profile in five easy-to-understand steps that builds trust, provides evidence in tenders and provides strategic advantage. No unnecessary reporting pressure or loose spreadsheets, but a smart, future-proof way of working.
Step 1: Everything starts with smart data integration
The biggest challenge in ESG often lies not in intention, but in information. Data on energy consumption, human resources, suppliers and risks are scattered across different systems. Manual entry leads to errors, frustration and wasted time.
Planet Yes automatically integrates data from your existing IT landscape. Think of your HR and ERP systems, energy platforms or financial software. This creates one central source of truth. The software recognizes missing or illogical values, and validates them automatically. This creates an ESG dataset that is not only complete and reliable, but also ready for reporting, analysis and review.
Step 2: Structure with smart templates
Once the data is in place, the next challenge comes: how do you turn it into a story? Many organizations get stuck in loose documents, ad hoc PowerPoints or complicated Excel models. Planet Yes offers standard templates based on well-known standards such as ESRS, VSME and GRI, but structured in such a way that you can adapt them to your own situation.
So you can easily create reports for customers, financiers or internal stakeholders. You decide which topics to include and how to present the content. This gives you the flexibility of your own format, but the assurance that you won't miss anything important. The result: professional, consistent ESG communication without endless editing.
Step 3: Always up-to-date with real-time insights
The world changes, and ESG expectations move with it. What was sufficient yesterday is outdated today. Planet Yes keeps you informed of relevant changes in standards, supply chain requirements and market demand. The software shows real-time signals when something requires attention or falls outside the set bandwidth.
Thanks to dashboards and notifications, you know exactly where you stand, what is urgent and where improvement is possible. So you avoid surprises in audits, discussions with clients or when applying for financing. Your ESG approach becomes agile and substantiated, without you having to be on top of it every day.
Step 4: Ready for every audit
Whether it is an internal audit, external audit or tender process - with Planet Yes you are prepared. The software automatically builds an audit trail: from data source to final report, every step is transparent and traceable.
All data is stored in a structured way and easy to share with your accountant, auditor or client. No stress with deadlines or surprises with questions. Because everything is recorded and substantiated, you work efficiently toward trust. Planet Yes makes ESG not only testable, but above all reliable.
Step 5: Smart integration, gaining time
ESG does not have to be an extra project. Planet Yes ensures that it becomes part of your existing processes. Through smart integrations with your IT environment, you don't have to purchase new infrastructure or develop separate ways of working.
