ESG reporting has become mandatory for business success, but most companies waste hours collecting scattered data or pay tens of thousands annually for standalone systems. Odoo's ESG app solves this by automatically turning your existing business operations into comprehensive ESG insights. No duplicate data entry, no separate systems, just clear sustainability reporting from the business data you already have.
ESG reporting has shifted from "nice to have" to a business imperative. The EU has been setting global standards since 2020, influencing requirements worldwide. In Singapore, all listed companies must report ESG metrics by 2025, while ASEAN is introducing simplified business guides.
Like most companies, you're probably spending hours collecting scattered information just to create basic sustainability reports. Even simple metrics become complex reporting challenges when data lives in different systems.
The Business Impact of ESG Requirements
Picture this: An investor asks about your carbon footprint. What should be a simple answer becomes a week-long project of data collection and verification. The larger your organization, the more complex this gets—multiple departments, various data formats, different reporting standards—all while trying to run your business.
Without connected ESG data, your business faces mounting pressure from multiple directions:
- Investors requiring sustainability metrics before funding decisions
- Customers are choosing suppliers based on environmental impact
- Supply chains prioritizing partners with transparent ESG reporting
- Competitors are gaining an advantage through better sustainability data
Most businesses respond by investing in expensive standalone systems (often costing $50,000-$200,000 annually) or dedicating valuable staff time to manual reporting. Both approaches miss a crucial point: this data already exists in your daily operations.
Turn Business Operations into ESG Insights
This is where Odoo's approach changes everything. Instead of creating another system to manage, the ESG app taps into your existing business workflows to deliver:
