SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Jan. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Good.Lab, an Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) data company, has announced the launch of its ESG Calculator.
The solution provides a set of tools for companies in the early stages of their ESG initiatives to prioritize ESG issues, assess progress and plan actions. It also includes access to free tools, resources, and benchmarks, an expert talent marketplace, and action tracker to monitor progress towards relevant ESG goals.
As expectations for ESG performance quickly come to the forefront, more businesses are acting to address these criteria in planning for differentiation and long-term viability. However, there is a significant amount of preliminary work prior to companies reporting on and working to improve their ESG performance. Larger enterprises are investing time, energy, and resources to capitalize on ESG ratings. Small and medium-sized companies also face increasing expectations, however, may lack the resources, expertise, and technology for performance improvement.
Andries Verschelden, CEO & Co-founder at Good.Lab, said: "After helping lots of companies get started on their ESG journey, we built the ESG Calculator to automate those first data challenges that every company has to overcome. The ESG Calculator lowers the activation energy needed to go from 0 to 1 by providing the tools, knowledge, and resources to navigate those early stages."
Good.Lab empowers companies of all sizes to take action on ESG issues through its sustainability consulting services powered by an experienced talent network and ESG data products focused on a quantitative, data-driven methodology. The ESG Calculator, designed for the initial phases of ESG ramp up, is the company's first software release and makes select capabilities already in use in client engagements free to the broader public.
Director of Marketing & Intellectual Property at Bioworld Merchandising and Good.Lab client, Jason Mayes shared: "Good.Lab guided us through the early stages of launching our ESG program and in defining what matters most to our company. Good.Lab's quantitative approach to ESG has helped us to set relevant sustainability targets and gather data for tracking our progress."
With Good.Lab's ESG Calculator companies can get started with just a few short questions to define, prioritize, and articulate the most material ESG issues facing their company and to benchmark progress against industry peers and sustainability leaders.
Co-founder & Chief Product Officer at Good.Lab, Liam Bossi added: "This tool automates much of the preliminary work behind setting accurate, meaningful, and achievable ESG targets prior to tackling the process of setting up systems for internal and external data collection and processing, supply chain engagement, carbon offsetting, and ESG reporting compliance. It's a powerful place to start." The ESG Calculator helps companies to identify internal opportunities for ESG improvement, including determining which targets to pursue. It also provides progress baselining and tracking functionality to give further insights into performance all with a set of customized action items for each ESG impact area.
