Frequently Asked Questions

How can Pigment help improve ESG performance?

Pigment centralizes ESG data from multiple sources, allowing teams to collaborate effectively, set targets and monitor progress across the organization. It helps businesses make informed decisions by aligning ESG goals with finance, HR, sales and operational functions.

Why should I use a cross-functional platform like Pigment for ESG reporting rather than an ESG tool?

ESG reporting is not just a compliance requirement; it’s a strategic performance driver that implies a lot of cross-functional considerations, inputs and alignment. Using Pigment as your horizontal platform allows you:

- To meet challenging regulatory standards like CSRD that involve a lot of different types of data and teams.
- To go beyond compliance by monitoring and implementing your entire ESG strategy, over time.

With Pigment, you publish a comprehensive summary of your ESG progress in line with market practices and regulations, but you also enhance your performance on material ESG topics, building resilience across your organization. Unlike standard ESG-specific tools that mainly focus on siloed data collection and basic reporting features, Pigment treats ESG data with the same rigor as financial data. You thereby gain capabilities in data integration, modeling, scenario planning, and collaborative analysis, all of which are essential for a holistic, proactive ESG strategy.

What ESG metrics can I track in Pigment?

As a flexible platform, Pigment allows you to track any metric. The wide range of ESG metrics that we support for ESG often revolve around greenhouse gas emissions (accounting and forecasting), workforce demographics, diversity gaps, financial KPIs under CSRD and EU Taxonomy and any other operating metric helping you monitor and improve your ESG performance comprehensively

How does Pigment ensure the accuracy of ESG data?

Pigment’s platform reduces reliance on manual data entry by integrating data from various sources, which enhances accuracy and provides an audit trail. This transparency helps in meeting compliance standards and improving data reliability. On top of that, Pigment's internal and ecosystem ESG expertise can be leveraged to ensure the quality of the models and reports

Can you comply with various standards, such as CSRD for annual reporting and the GHG Protocol for carbon accounting?

Our platform is fully compliant with CSRD requirements. The CSRD module includes all Disclosure Requirements from the 12 ESRS and guidelines published by EFRAG, making it ready for immediate implementation. Additionally, all Application Requirements of the ESRS are integrated within the tool and linked to the corresponding Disclosure Requirements.

For other guidelines, such as the GHG Protocol or BEGES (specific to France), our platform is methodology-agnostic. Throughout the implementation, our internal and ecosystem experts will adapt the methodology of your choice to meet your specific needs. Thanks to our flexible and adaptive solution, we can accommodate nearly any methodology available in the market, ensuring your compliance across multiple ESG standards.
