The Challenge for ESG Reporting
The greatest challenges in the SME ESG lending process
unstructured ESG data
SME clients submit ESG data as Excel spreadsheets or PDFs – rendering it non-comparable, non-auditable, and unsuitable for immediate ESG reporting.
customer ESG onboarding friction
Manual data collection via email is highly resource-intensive for all parties and places an unnecessary burden on customer relationships, hindering efficient ESG reporting.
Regulatory ESG compliance gaps
SFDR, Green Asset Ratio, and EU Taxonomy—ESG compliance requirements are rising while standardized data for SMEs remains scarce.
