Digital Sustainability Reporting

Digitizing sustainability reporting in a real estate company requires strategic planning and the right tools. Here is a suggestion on how you can do it with Enkey's solution for measurement Enkey Building Insight®.

Define Goals and Requirements​

  1. Identify which sustainability data needs to be reported (e.g., energy, water, waste, emissions, social factors).
  2. Ensure that the reporting complies with applicable regulations (e.g., CSRD, EU taxonomy, GRI, TCFD).
  3. Decide whether the reporting should be annual, quarterly, or in real-time.

Automate Data Collection and Analysis​

  1. Automate the collection of energy, water, and climate data by connecting the buildings to Enkey's platform Enkey Building Insight®.
  2. Install the required number of sensors, meters, and measurement converters to obtain a reliable data stream of climate and measurement data from your buildings. You may need to create a schedule for, e.g., water meters, to capture main and sub-meters.
  3. Create the necessary number of panels, cards, and dashboards to get an overview of real-time data and history.
  4. Analyze and identify inefficiencies and risks.

Ensure Data Quality and Traceability​

  1. Standardize data sharing and validation. Enkey Building Insight® can share data in many different ways and to various sources.
  2. Create a process for reviewing and verifying data before reporting.
  3. Allow auditors to access data directly in Enkey Building Insight® for transparency during third-party audits.

Choose and Implement Digital Tools​

  1. Many modern property management systems have built-in sustainability reporting (examples: Vitec, Fast2 or Yardi Voyager).
  2. There are also external sustainability platforms: Tools like Normative, Position Green or Envizi can compile and visualize data.
  3. ERP systems: It may also be relevant to integrate with the financial system to link sustainability to financial reporting.

Educate Staff and Integrate into Corporate Culture​

  1. Provide relevant training to ensure proper handling of digital tools.
  2. Engage employees in sustainability efforts and show how digitization can streamline their work.

Create Clear and User-Friendly Reports​

  1. Use data visualization to make the report more accessible.
  2. Implement interactive reports for investors and other stakeholders.

Evaluate and Improve Continuously​

  1. Analyze results and compare with previous periods.
  2. Stay updated on new requirements and technical solutions.
