Datamaran, a provider of ESG-focused software analytics, has announced the launch of the Datamaran Suite, a new platform designed to assist companies in managing their ESG strategies. The platform offers capabilities such as benchmarking sustainability disclosures against industry peers and setting evidence-based targets.
The new platform builds on the foundation of the recently launched Datamaran Core, which supports companies in identifying, managing, and disclosing ESG issues, risks, and opportunities. It adds new governance features to Core’s AI-powered materiality assessment capabilities.
A key feature of the Datamaran Suite is the “IROs Benchmarking” module. This allows companies to compare their disclosed impacts, risks, and opportunities (IROs) with those of peers across various industries and geographies. This module helps assess alignment with industry norms and identify disclosure gaps. Additionally, a “Multiple Reviews” feature enables companies to assign up to 25 reviewers per topic when evaluating IROs, allowing for more thorough and consistent assessments.
Other features of the new platform include Topics Benchmarking to understand how peers frame ESG issues, Target Setting that considers external benchmarks, peer disclosures, and policy signals, and access to Harbor+, the premium tier of Datamaran’s networking platform for sustainability professionals.
Marjella Lecourt-Alma, CEO and co-founder of Datamaran, stated, “Your IRO disclosures are a reflection of your strategic priorities. With Datamaran Suite, companies gain a clear view of how their disclosures stack up and, just as importantly, they get a scalable system that reflects the complexity of ESG today. Our clients tell us they value the efficiency of having materiality, regulatory monitoring, and benchmarking in one place.”
