Introduction
The Reports section of the KEY ESG platform lets you analyse, compare and export your ESG data in one place. You can review performance across years, entities and reporting periods, track progress against your targets, inspect every individual data entry, and export auditable files to share with stakeholders, investors or auditors.
To open it, select Reports from the left-hand menu. You’ll see three tabs:
ESG Performance: an interactive view of all the data collected in the Collect Data section.
Targets and Action Plans: an overview of the targets you’ve set and how the actions against them are progressing.
Raw Activities: every individual data entry you’ve input into KEY ESG.
Before you start: add your company logo
Your logo appears on PDF exports, so it’s worth adding before you download anything.
Click your initials in the top right-hand corner.
Select User Management.
In your general company settings, upload your company logo.
Tip: logos are displayed on a white background, and horizontal logos work best.
ESG Performance report
Explore your data
Metrics are grouped into expandable drop-downs. For example, GHG Scope 1 emissions expands into categories such as stationary combustion, which in turn shows individual data points like natural gas or manufacturing fuels.
Click any underlined value to drill down to the underlying data entries on the data submission page, where you can see monthly detail for that metric.
Compare and break down
Use the Compare/Breakdown drop-down to change how your report is displayed:
Vs Prior Year: compare one year against another (e.g. 2024 vs 2025), with the variance shown as a percentage.
Entity breakdown: view results by site or location, such as your London or Amsterdam offices.
Quarterly breakdown: useful for investors or stakeholders who need quarterly figures.
Monthly breakdown: see each month of a reporting year for detailed analysis.
Filter your report
Filter Metrics: show only the metrics you’re interested in, such as environmental metrics.
Entities: focus on specific sites or locations.
When using Vs Prior Year, two extra filters are available:
Variance threshold (%): only show metrics whose change exceeds a percentage you set.
Performance: show only improvements or only regressions.
Save your view
Once you’ve set up a view you like, click Save View, give it a name (e.g. “London Quarterly Report”), and choose whether to share it with your organisation or keep it private. You can return to it anytime via Select Saved View.
Targets and Action Plans report
This report gives you an overview of the targets your organisation has set and how the actions supporting them are progressing, so you can see at a glance where you’re on track and where attention is needed. You can export it alongside your other reports (see Exporting below).
Raw Activities report
The Raw Activities report shows all the input data you’ve entered into KEY ESG, making it the best place to check, audit or trace individual entries.
You can filter it by:
Data point
Data entry method
Period
Entity
As with the ESG Performance report, you can save a filtered view by typing a name and clicking Save View.
Exporting and sharing your reports
Click Export to download your data. The available options are:
Current report view: exactly what you’re looking at, with your filters and breakdowns applied (Excel or PDF).
All data for the current year (Excel).
All-time data (Excel).
Carbon auditable report (Excel): designed for external reviews and audits. Alongside the Periodicity (Yearly, Quarterly, Monthly) and Year columns, it includes separate Month and Quarter columns so you can filter sub-annual figures directly. The Month column shows the month name for monthly rows; the Quarter column shows Q1–Q4 for both monthly and quarterly rows. For example, filtering Quarter to Q1 returns January, February and March rows plus any data collected quarterly for Q1, giving you a clean quarterly figure even when data was collected at different frequencies.
Targets and Action Plans report (PDF).
All notes as PDF.
You can also copy your report to the clipboard and paste it into your preferred application.

Troubleshooting
My report shows “no data”. Check that a data entry method is selected in the data entry method filter. If none is selected, the whole report will display as “no data”.
I can’t see a breakdown by site. Entity breakdowns only show data for entities assigned to your data points. See Setting up entities in the KEY ESG platform.
My carbon figures look incomplete. Confirm how your carbon metrics are configured (KEY ESG calculator vs direct entry). See Configuring Carbon Metrics and Viewing the Results in Reports.
