While building an ESG/BRSR platform, one thing became clear: the challenge is not compliance, it is understanding what to track.
The gap between concept and execution
At a high level:
- track emissions
- generate reports
In reality:
- data is scattered
- ownership is unclear
- processes are informal
Operational problem, not technical
Most discussions focus on frameworks, but the real questions are:
- who captures data?
- how often?
- how is it validated?
Without operational clarity, software alone cannot help.
Data fragmentation
Typical distribution:
- energy -> facilities
- logistics -> operations
- procurement -> finance
There is no unified view.
Over-complication reduces adoption
Complex tools:
- overwhelm users
- reduce adoption
Simple workflows work better.
What works
- simple data capture
- configurable calculations
- modular reporting
- gradual adoption
Conclusion
ESG/BRSR is fundamentally a data and process problem, not just reporting.
