Speeki focuses on consolidating your sustainability programmes into a single platform.
We recognise that to be successful in sustainability, you will need to collect and store lots of information about a lot of topics. Speeki helps you efficiently collect, manage, and analyse that data within the Speeki platform. This helps you manage your programmes, drive new initiatives, and support ESG disclosure and reporting.
The Speeki software, powered by Nicole, our AI agent, provides guidance every step of the way.
ESG and Sustainability data involves both 'words and numbers'. When building your programmes in key risk areas within Speeki, the platform guides you on what information to provide. You don't need to be an expert on every topic, from GHG emissions to anti-bribery. That's our role.
Data is collected in various ways within Speeki, including through questionnaires and web forms (answering our curated questions on specific topics), ESG surveys, and tools such as Carbon Lens for GHG emissions calculations. For numerical data sets, you can upload pre-designed spreadsheets or connect to other systems.
Efficiently collect and analyse ESG data
ESG and Sustainability data varies across different topics. Some data is purely narrative (i.e., words), some is mostly numerical (i.e., numbers), and some is a hybrid of both. Speeki supports several options for entering data into the system. The more data you collect, the more you’ll need to generate for regulatory reports such as IFRS (S1 and S2), TCFD, as well as CRSD and ESRS.
Spreadsheet import
While a little 'old school', spreadsheets are still a great way to upload numerical data into Speeki. We provide the templates; you gather and upload the data as indicated.
Direct entry with answers
Most of ESG and Sustainability is focused on the narrative. Speeki provides guidance across more than 20 risk areas with specific questions for direct entry. If you need help, Nicole, our AI assistant, can help you.
Data from other tools
Speeki includes several ESG advisory tools that help you create and manage data, such as reports from the whistleblowing system, data collected from questionnaires sent to suppliers, and information gathered from disclosure forms.
Data from integrations
If you have data sitting in other company systems and you want to seamlessly send that across to Speeki, open APIs exist to connect systems and exchange data.
Speeki knows precisely the data you need and where you have gaps.
Depending on your programmes being run within Speeki (your materiality assessment will help define this) and your ESG disclosure requirements (e.g., CSRD, ESRS, TCFD, IFRS S1 and S2), Speeki will guide you on what you need.
If you're unsure, our AI assistant, Nicole, provides over 1000 videos on how to answer questions and meet ESG data collection needs.
Words
ESG and Sustainability is 70% about words. You need to tell Speeki how you are managing activities, impacts, and ESG governance.
Numbers
Metrics and numbers are important, but they should not be the focus of ESG and Sustainability reporting. The numbers must be supported by a strong narrative.
Building your programmes will help you generate the data.
Programmes first. Data second.
If you don’t have a carbon management programme, a DEI programme, or a whistleblowing programme, how are you expected to produce an ESG data collection report? It’s like not having any finance or accounting programme and pressing 'generate report' in your accounting system, expecting something to miraculously appear.
Here are three really simple examples to explain our model at Speeki about programmes first and reporting last.
GHG emissions and carbon management
There is little point in declaring your goal to be carbon neutral or to reduce emissions unless you have a comprehensive GHG programme. Such a programme helps you identify current usage, set objectives, and implement actions to achieve your goals. Speeki provides software to build a GHG carbon management system and track carbon emissions using our Carbon Lens tool.
Waste management and recycling
You may have a goal to reduce waste or adjust the waste mix to increase recycling. However, without a waste management programme that includes clear ownership, responsibilities, objectives, actions, tracking, and oversight, progress will be limited. By building your waste management programme within Speeki, you will find it easier to produce the necessary data.
Modern slavery in the supply chain
While claiming 'zero' instances of reported modern slavery in your supply chain and having a policy against such practices is commendable, it doesn’t guarantee that no instances exist—just that you are unaware of them. Build a modern slavery programme within Speeki and use the data generated to support your CSRD, ESRS, and internal disclosures.
FAQs
Find answers to frequently asked questions about ESG and Sustainability data collection.
ESG refers to environmental, social, and governance criteria used to evaluate a company’s sustainability performance. ESG data includes both narrative (words) and numerical (numbers) information about how a company measures and reports its impact and performance in these areas.
ESG data is crucial because it helps companies identify risks, make informed decisions, and demonstrate their commitment to sustainability. It enables organisations to set goals, develop objectives, and take actions that benefit both the company and the environment.
ESG data can be collected in various ways and formats. Speeki automates some of this data collection through submission questions, spreadsheet uploads, or connections to other tools and services.
Speeki enables you to generate regulatory reports such as IFRS (S1 and S2), CSRD and ESRS, as well as TCFD. Additionally, you can customise and create your own reports.
Speeki streamlines ESG data collection by managing your programme efficiently, saving time and resources while ensuring accuracy and reliability.
