With evolving regulatory standards in the EU, businesses from various industries face increasing pressure to streamline their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting practices and ensure compliance. However, the reporting process is no walk in the park. On the contrary–extensive Excel files and manual procedures complicate navigating vast amounts of data and meeting deadlines efficiently. As the landscape of sustainability reporting continues to evolve, there is a pressing need for a standardized and user-friendly solution to streamline ESG reporting processes and enhance data management efficiency.

With the help of the Binom team, HUB (Croatian Banking Association) and HROK (Croatian Registry of Credit Obligations) collaborated to develop an ESG platform: an innovative solution designed to revolutionize ESG reporting practices, the first one of its kind on the Croatian market. It offers a standardized questionnaire for data collection and submission, complemented by features such as authorization management, content editing, and user administration. All questions are accompanied by detailed explanations and examples of completion. 

With its dynamic questionnaire functionality, the platform tailors the survey experience to each user, presenting industry-specific questions relevant to their operations. By automating manual tasks and providing comprehensive guidance, the ESG platform optimizes the reporting process while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.

Its key functionalities include:

• Authorizing legal entities to fill out and publish the ESG questionnaire.
• ESG questionnaire completion.
• Signing and publication of the completed ESG report.
• Managing ESG report download permissions (for banks and other financial institutions).
• Downloading ESG reports on the platform (for banks and other financial institutions).
• Managing authorization requests, questionnaire content, and ESG platform users for HROK administrators.
