By preparing an ESG report with ESG365, reporting becomes more accurate and efficient. In addition, you get a solution that makes your work simpler, more manageable and in accordance with applicable requirements. You can read more below:
Data integration and management:
Centralized data management: Our software collects all relevant data in one place, which simplifies the entire process.
Comparable data: ESG365 ensures that data is collected and processed uniformly, so that your reports are easy to compare across different reporting periods.
Compliance with standards and regulations:
Complete compliance: With ESG365, you can be confident that your ESG report complies with international reporting standards as well as the EU’s VSME standard.
Always up-to-date: The software is continuously updated, so you automatically take into account new legal requirements and changes in reporting standards.
Visualization and communication:
Clear presentation: Our software communicates complex data in an easy and understandable way, making it easier for you to communicate your sustainability results.
Performance analysis: You will have the opportunity to follow and analyze your progress, both in relation to your own sustainability efforts and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Stakeholder engagement:
Transparent communication: A well-structured ESG report can support your communication with investors, customers, employees and other stakeholders. With ESG365, you can easily and quickly involve stakeholders in the reporting process and create greater trust.
As a starting point, you should list all 20 reporting points and only omit those points that are not relevant to your business.
With our software, you can define your own sustainability efforts and link them to one or more of the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals and 169 targets. This way, you can measure and track your own efforts in the same way as the other reporting points in ESG365.
“E” stands for environment, and it represents the environmental criteria that companies and investors consider to assess an organization’s impact on the environment.
The most important environmental criteria (E) for small and medium-sized enterprises are based on the VSME standard. Here, you must report on the following areas:
1. Climate Change:
2. Resource Management:
3. Biodiversity and Ecosystems:
4. Environmental Pollution:
It is a good idea to start with Scope 1 and Scope 2, which are the company’s direct CO₂ emissions.
Scope 3 is more complicated and takes longer. It is considered good practice to state in the report how far you are with Scope 3 and when you expect to be ready to publish data on the indirect CO₂ emissions.
To calculate your environmental data, you can use the Climate Compass – a digital tool developed by the Danish Business Authority and the Danish Energy Agency.
You can subsequently enter your E-key ratios in the Climate Compass into ESG365, so that they become part of your ESG reporting.

The “S” represents the social factors that define the relationship between your company and your employees, society, and other stakeholders.
The most important social criteria (S) for small and medium-sized enterprises are based on the VSME standard. Here you must report on the following areas:
1. Employee Rights and Conditions:
2. Equality and Diversity:
3. Training and Education:
4. Human Rights:
5. Community and Society:
FTE (Full-Time Equivalent): FTE measures working time in relation to a full-time employee in order to compare labor requirements.
An example of how it works:
To calculate the total number of FTEs for this workforce, we use the following calculation:
Total number of FTE = 40 FTE + 5 FTE = 45 FTE
“G” stands for governance and covers the factors that concern how a company is managed and organized.
The most important management criteria (G) for small and medium-sized enterprises are based on the VSME standard. Here you must report on the following areas:
1. Ethics and Integrity:
2. Risk Management:
3. Corporate Structure and Transparency:
4. Stakeholder Engagement:
5. Data Protection and Information Security:
Governance includes the composition of the company’s board of directors, including diversity and the independence of board members. It also involves ensuring that the board has sufficient expertise and experience to make informed decisions.
Corporate governance refers to the way a company is managed and controlled. This includes the relationship between shareholders, the board of directors, and management, as well as the overall structure and allocation of responsibilities within the company.
What is the Climate Compass?
With the Climate Compass, you can calculate the greenhouse gas emissions associated with your company’s activities. The Climate Compass is designed to be used by many different types of companies, meaning it can be used to create detailed climate accounts if your company needs them. However, it is not necessary to use all parts of the tool if you don’t require them.
The main results from your work in the Climate Compass are entered into ESG365. You can access the guide for the Climate Compass here: Guide
There is both a guide and a FAQ available on the Climate Compass guidance page when logged in at Klimakompasset.dk.
