At Greenly, we’ve designed a powerful, intelligent ESG framework that combines the best elements of 15+ international standards and frameworks. Our goal? To give your company a robust and adaptable tool to assess, improve, and report on ESG performance with maximum relevance and minimum effort.

Whether you are preparing for CSRD compliance, aiming for a BCorp certification, responding to EcoVadis or CDP questionnaires, or simply building your sustainability strategy, Greenly’s ESG system has you covered.

Our custom framework is built upon an intelligent mix of major international ESG frameworks:

We select and harmonize the most decision-useful, material, and auditable datapoints from each source, ensuring you get a reliable foundation for your ESG reporting and strategy—no matter your size or maturity.

All indicators are compatible with our reporting engine and can be exported as a full ESG report directly from the platform.
